The only corn-based ethanol should be the one in bourbon. Why take from our food crops for fuel when we got a ton of oil,gas and nuclear potential, with lots of renewable sources as complement (tax cuts to get solar panels on the roof, wind farms where avaliable,etc) ?
Ethanol is the #1 culprit for yearly problems with my weed eater, chainsaw, leaf blower, lawnmower, etc. Gotta replace primer bulbs and fuel lines on weed eater & leaf blower again this year. 😡
Opposing corn ethanol subsidies used to be a conservative position. The gov't should not be diverting 1/3 of American corn to make fuel. The fuel is corrosive to internal combustion engines which run better on pure gasoline. And the gov't pays farmers to grow all of this, using the coercive power of the Farm Bill subsidies to ensure that it happens. The gov't should not be in the business of dictating what farmers grow.
Social security is another. It's insolvent. They privatized it and looted it in the 90s. It's liability sheet has grown astronomically as life expectancy has grown and a far larger share of the population lives to age 65 and beyond. We don't have the demographic base to continue to support payouts at the current rates. The pyramid scheme is collapsing because the base is too narrow. It needs serious reform. The conservative position is that it's not gov't's job to save for your retirement. It's yours. Gov't must keep the promises it made, but not make new promises it can't keep by continuing this insolvent scheme.
Medicare doesn't need to exist either. It's a back door to gov't-controlled healthcare. Everything it does can and should be done by private insurers. But when gov't pays the bills (and they pay a huge part of Medicare), they also get a say in what hospitals and doctors can and can't do. What they decide to pay for determines the services the system provides. Few doctors can operate without taking Medicare/Medicaid, so they all do as their told. And now that comes with "quality" metrics where gov't specifically gives incentives for compliance and penalties in reimbursement for non-compliance. We have a highly socialized and gov't controlled system, but people don't generally realize it because Medicare/Medicaid acts as a fig leaf covering the control system.
The National Sales Tax is intended to replace the income tax. To mention the VAT system without also mentioning that it is intended to replace income tax is just a flat out lie about the position. It's considered a fairer tax structure because those who use the economy pay. It's naturally progressive, but everyone pays based on their consumption, so you can't dodge it with corporate write-offs, carve-outs, loopholes, tax credits, and all of the other manipulative garbage they do to give the ultra-wealthy with the best accountants and tax lawyers a path to pay less.
These are all conservative positions that are worth a fair and honest debate.
I can tell you this much for a fact. I have been in trucking for 38 years so I know about this. I get less fuel mileage and performance using biodiesel. Period. The gubmint paid truckstops to sell biodiesel until biodiesel was all that's available.
Now personally, I can’t stand ethanol fuel. It’s devastating to many vehicles. And as you raise the %, like they did this time last year, it gets even worse for fuel related problems in every motor. I have fixed a crap ton of engines because of ethanol. And advise everyone to stay away from it, I don’t care what you drive. If you have no choice in the matter, get a fuel additive that combats ethanol fuel. Gumout (Tune Up) is a good recommendation for this. It’s not expensive or anything, usually around $7-8. Seafoam is good stuff but not for this application. You won’t need it for every fill up. If your like many people and fill up once a week, do a fuel additive once a month or so. Should help greatly.
I recall seeing a YT video recently that showed how to remove the ethanol from gasoline so that you can safely use it in chain saws, lawn mowers, snow blowers, etc.
For small engines ethanol is death to those injectors and fuel lines. If you have no choice use what I mentioned earlier every so often, same as vehicles but also add some StaBil 360 Marine ethanol treatment. It’s the clear/grey bottle. They have the red bottle if nothing else is available. But the marine one works more efficient from my experience. Just add to your gallon cans as instructed on the bottle, oz/gallon. Or just add an ounce or less straight to your tank for small engines use.
Oxygenated fuels like ethanol spiked gasoline were introduced to supposedly reduce the emissions of carbureted vehicles running too richly. In other words, you are paying for oxygen that replaces some of the fuel. Since most cars these days use fuel injection other than small numbers of classic cars, oxygenated fuels do nothing for the air quality, but they do hurt fuel economy.
Gotta say, all Trump did here was list four reasons for vote for DeSantis. Ethanol is a boondoggle, retirement age should be increased, MediCare should be scrapped, and a national sales tax in lieu of what is laughingly called the "tax code" would make a lot of sense.
Is Trump out of touch? Or is he just pandering to the Iowa Caucus vote?
Sounds like you have been spending too much time with commies, maybe you should pray to be better. Only God can save you from the path to eternal damnation you are. Never turn you back on Trump or you will burn forever in the fires of hell. It's not too late to save your soul.

Because that that gmo corn is only good for making fuel. We absolutely should not be eating it!!
ikr
currently, this is about VOTES
"The ethanol industry does not receive federal subsidies. Unlike those for the oil industry, tax incentives for corn ethanol disappeared years ago."
https://growthenergy.org/faq/ethanol-receive-federal-government-subsidies/
Lmao. No subsidies, they just passed laws that all the gasoline contains it if you are anywhere near a major city.
Ethanol is trash.
I might try Ronda Saster…lol

Ethanol: To be fair, clearly DJT doesn't own a chainsaw. 😁

What about lower case leftover word easter? Got anything for that?
good catch

Capital DS = Deep State
I don’t want ethanol in my gasoline though, that’s why I always fill up premium
Must be nice to live where you do. Our Premium gas has ethanol. Luckily, Buc-ee’s has ethanol free that I use for my small engines.

I don’t like the government in any of that shit. Use oil, let me do my own retirement savings and get out of “Health care” altogether.
Ethanol is a loser. Takes more energy to produce than energy produced by it and yet, we keep on subsidizing away.
Yep I love this name too DeSaster 🤣🤣🤣🤣
For the record, ethanol is a stupid additive that makes engines run badly. It only exists to raise the price of corn

Sounds like you are out of touch, Trump as always is 100% spot on. Maybe you got lost and read too much socialist propaganda.
It's a Leftist tactic to paint anyone with substantive disagreement as the enemy. Be better.
Sounds like you have been spending too much time with commies, maybe you should pray to be better. Only God can save you from the path to eternal damnation you are. Never turn you back on Trump or you will burn forever in the fires of hell. It's not too late to save your soul.
"Never turn you back on Trump or you will burn forever in the fires of hell."
Boy doesn't that just say it all? Good for you, though, on settling on your golden calf!
