This is THE most important election in my life. Things dont change and I don't know IF we get another election. I'm Still, regardless of what it looks like , saying Hillary wins, America loses,,, I'm going with Cruz, tho Heidi scares the crap out of me. I'm Very concerned that He is compromised, but I don't Trust Trump either. Trump lost my support when he said he would continue the Ethanol subsidies. If free market won't support it, the People who consume it deem it less valuable than it costs, so, it's dead. And Cruz said something none of the others have said.
What Obama has Done with executive action, I will UNdo, with executive action.
Ohh, I'm solid down with that. Is it just an empty promise? I don't think so. Anyone who will filibuster for over twenty hours, no sitting down, no trip to the bathroom, now, that is not someone who is insincere.
Trump is popular for several reasons He seems to be the guy who will shove a stick in the spokes of the front wheel on the run away government.
But, he ALSO says that He is the Dealmaker,, anyone else get a knot in the gut? Negotiations are fine, until the Topic is one that is unconstitutional. As far as im concerned, the subsidies pick winners and losers, and don't serve the public, generally. In WWII, when GE was reverse engineering and developing the jet engine, sure, support them while they do that, but paying a farmer to NOT grow something, to keep the price up, paying for corn to be grown, to haul it off and make ethanol? Diminishing the food crops? Guys, that's a subsidy that we pay for on several levels. And it's WRONG that it exists. Subsidies are not free market and need to go away. The only place I see it as even POSSIBLY justified is when the payback from a developing technology would impact the nation. Like GE.
And, GE, took the subsidies, developed technology, and , IMO, screwed the taxpayers who held them up and gave them the opportunity to develop. They developed technologies and manufacturing capabilities on taxpayer monies and blossomed into a great milking machine on the udder of the taxpayer. Just my opinion, not saying they didn't used to make great stuff, and im not saying that if I was head of the board of directors I would have done it differently. The teat was there to suck. And the milk was sweet and never ran dry. Who wouldn't want summa that?
A few congressmen approach, and say
We've decided that supper tonight is your left leg.
But, we will negotiate.
Being uncompromising is sometimes important. We've seen too many Deals made. Look at all the trade deals. How is it that American workers got destroyed in EVERY GOD darnED ONE OF THEM? And nobody does Fukkall about it. It's the new normal.
