First Romneycare and now he supports ethanol subsidies. Why would anyone want to vote for this guy?
Not only are we paying a hidden price at the pump for these subsidies to make ethanol look better as a solution, we’re paying more at the grocery store and more in entitlement spending to boot. Hey, what’s not to like for a conservative?
Pawlenty went to Iowa and told the truth — that the federal government’s subsidies of ethanol were bad policy that we can no longer afford. Romney went to Iowa and pandered for big-government solutions in a market that should either be standing on its own two feet by now or putting resources into other solutions instead. Which candidate showed political courage?
Vote Romney if you want business as usual. If Republican’s want this guy, I smell a strong 3rd party candidate.
