Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King believes Congress should defund Planned Parenthood, reduce food stamps and entitlement spending to pay for the southern wall on the Mexican border.

Instead of the $1.6 billion price for the wall that some lawmakers have pitched, King would rather provide $5 billion in funding, he said on CNN’s “New Day” with Alisyn Camerota.

“Are you comfortable, congressman, with providing $1.6 billion of taxpayer money, not from Mexico, to build that wall?” Camerota said.

The conservative pride of Iowa, Rep. Steve King.

How about taking ethanol subsidies?

How about taking ethanol subsidies?

If we did that, they'd have to import the ethanol to blend with our fuel. We need to get rid of the mandate first, then the subsidies.

[Applewood]

It's a good idea, which is why it would never fly.  Neither party wants to alienate the gimmedat crowd.

How about taking ethanol subsidies?

The only thing that I know is left is the mandate. There are no subsidies, at least federal.

And even if there were, if that was the worst thing I had to worry about my congress person, considering all the problems this country has, I'd be able to look the other way till that became a higher priority.

I wonder when Trump is going to make Mexico to pay for the wall.

I wonder when Trump is going to make Mexico to pay for the wall.

Cut the corporate income tax in half, to start.

They'll pay. Through the nose, as American companies desert Mexico to come back here.

I wonder if you even support a wall?

Wonder, wonder.

The mandate is a subsidy, in effect.  It creates an artificial market demand.

Precisely!

The mandate isn't for a percentage of motor fuels polluted to a limited percent, it is a fixed number of gallons of ethanol to be blended with whatever amount of fuel is sold, effectively setting demand in the marketplace.

 That could exceed the 10% 'blend wall' if gasoline sales are down, and void warranties on newer autos. (It just wrecks the fuel systems in the older ones.)

All part of the plan.

The Eco fascists want cars off the road, so they go after the older ones as polluters and unsafe.

In Ca. DMV used to send out a notice every year that they'd buy your old car for up to $500 just to junk and crush it.

My tax dollars, to destroy My car.

My ultra low mileage near showroom maintained 81 Corvette.

Same DMV that had a 'Languages Spoken' sign at the counters.

Cantonese, Tagalog, Spanish, and English.

And yes English was listed dead last.

Right.

Explanation beyond '/snicker' please?

Why would Mexico agree to be extorted by the US?

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Why would Mexico agree to be extorted by the US?

OMG!

Mexico is not going to be sending money to us for enticing our employers back home.

The Mexican Government is going to have to find ways to OUT-entice US, to get those employers to stay.

And that is going to cost the Mexican corrupt-ocracy big, perhaps everything they own, provided we can get it to happen.

But then we've still got a lot of folks here who are Still dumb enough to believe that 'The Rich', are going to 'Pay Their Fair Share', this time.

And they keep falling for it again and again and vote to tax themselves every time they 'Make The Rich Pay More'

At no time in that whole equation is the 'environmental cost' of recycling an older vehicle and building a new one factored in.
My granddaughter has a '91 Geo Metro, a 35+ MPG car that's older than she is, but still going.  Five hundred wouldn't buy it. Four vehicles we own are over 40. One has a 460 engine and is a gas guzzler in town, but gets about 18-20 on the highway, same as any light truck. The others are 18 years old and up, the oldest in the fleet is pushing 80. Not one has the built in tracking devices the auto overlords want. Not one has the 'black box'. Not one can be commandeered through a cell or satellite link and shut down.
Bottom line is that those who would be our masters want control. Of everything.
Something I realized when we bought a really nice little used Astro Van and handed the keys to my MIL for the last few years of her life (she cried like it was brand new): mobility=freedom. There are those who would take that, any way they can.

Want the big money?  Defund Obamacare.

So you just like to flush $45 billion down the toilet so you can enrich Archer Daniels Midland, destroy carburetors on small engines and generally just feel good about yourself?

Don't use my tax dollars to do that.  Use your own as you apparently do not feel like they are important to you.  They are to me.

Well if you want to die on that hill today and have Rep. King removed from office, knock yourself out. He's good on 99% of the issues and right now there are way bigger fish to fry. If you can't prioritize in politics, you'll waste alot of time chasing secondary issues and missing the main ones.

Where has the prioritization of getting rid of Obamacare got us so far? 

There is so much low-hanging fruit ripe to pick, no reason to let it fall to the ground and rot.....

I doubt the whole of Congress is employed in slogging through Obamacare. Get those other SOBs off the golf course and put their slack asses to work doing other things that need to be done.

If we can't get the top issue passed, do you think that Congress is what, going to get something passed to fix all that other stuff? There's so much time, focus, energy, and political capital to get things done.

But by all means if you want to climb on that cross and embark on that crusade, go for it. I'm sure Rep. King has a congressional email where you can tell him how he needs to be removed from office because of his support for ethanol mandates. He and every other congress person's most minor issue that you disagree with.

Stand firm, don't back down, tell them they must fix them all, right now, today, or they should be removed from office. I am sure you'll be successful.

Want the big money?  Defund Obamacare.

In the 1970s and 80s discussion of budget topics, included costs to the public, in the regular news.

I either missed it, or they simply have not publicized the total cost to FedGov of Obamacare.

Common sense say, if more people get government-paid medical care, it costs the FedGov more.

We do know some coverage was by Medicaid--payments made from FedGov to the states.

Subsidies are probably the biggest new addition to the taxpayers' tab, but how many billions that is, who knows?
