Billionaire and presidential friend Carl Icahn threw the ethanol industry into turmoil last week when he tried to broker changes to a federal biofuel program that would benefit his oil refinery business.This keeps up, the BOP is going to have to build a new FCI to hold former Trumpers.

To be fair, there has been many pushes to get rid of the ethanol mandate.
But it is political pork to farmers.
(and really doesn't in any way help the environment, BTW). I'd love to see it go away. Waste of energy and tax money.
But I DO agree with you about the conflict of interest.
Rule, By the Rich, and for the Rich. Kleptocracy if I got that right?
What a sad end for a once Free nation. Not like the rich didn't have all the power before, but now they don't even feel the need to hide it.
The Racists too, that have come out from under their rocks to freely spew their hate.
What has our Country done to itself?
The fall of the Cheetolini cannot come soon enough
