RENT-SEEKERS GOTTA SEEK RENTS: King Corn Suing EPA Over Ethanol Waivers.

President Trump has thus far refused to consider ending the Renewable Fuel Standard and its mandates for blending ethanol into the gasoline supply. This keeps the King Corn folks in Iowa happy, but pretty much nobody else in conservative circles. Some compromises have finally been reached, however, and the EPA has begun granting a few waivers to refineries which were the hardest hit by the mandates and associated penalties. It wasn’t much, but it’s at least a start.

So how did the corn contingent respond? They’re suing the EPA, saying that the waivers are violating their iron grip on the market or something.

“Entitlement” is a dirty word and an even worse attitude.
