The same for lawn mowers and snowblowers.

At least the Republicans want people to work for their money.
Unless those people are Iowa farmers, and then they get money for free.

That’s America. Love it or leave it.

Exactly. Trump didn't make the rules. He is just playing by the rules. The Democrats should know that better than anyone. They kowtow to special interest better than anyone. Hell, they are willing to give away the country just to get into/stay in office.

I wasn’t aware this decision was meeting resistance on the left. Can you cite your source please?

So the allegedly 'less government' crowd once again defends government interference and doesn't give a rat's ass what it will do to engine performance and durability as long as they keep their base BSed into 'believing., eh?


BTW, Just what you imagine corn grown for ethanol has to do with what people eat?

I am talking about the posters on this thread. They are bashing Trump for raising the ethanol percentage from 10 to 15.

Ethanol was pushed by the Democrats/Left. Why don't you take up your issues with Al Gore?
