Chuck Grassley puts the screws to Trump on ethanol

On Monday we looked at the somewhat mysterious situation going on at the EPA and whether or not they would move to begin rolling back some of the ethanol mandates buried in the Renewable Fuel Standard. It’s a complicated question because Scott Pruitt’s department has been giving signals that such a rollback might be in the offing, but President Trump has been solidly onboard with King Corn thus far. There’s also a split in the GOP, where conservatives don’t care for mandates in general and ones which burn food for fuel and are of dubious benefit in particular, but a lot of deep red, corn-producing states elect Republicans who are deep in the pockets of King Corn.

My guess is that Trump would want to side with Pruitt. But Grassley, et al, have leverage. Politics in the raw.

I think Grassley should look for other ways to boost his constituents/contributors. Maybe something...gasp!...free market.
