Must be tough,

for the poor (and I mean poor, but not in monetary terms) GOP candidates as start in Iowa, with the outrageous ethanol subsidies propping up the local economy. These flip-flop artists, (whose backs must be killing them), rail against the deficit, after THEY caused it, but won't repeal W's 'temporary' tax cut for gazillionaires, won't stop tax giveaways for oil companies making record profits, and won't touch the ethanol program, that takes more energy to produce than it creates, not to mention bumping up the price of other food and wasting water. These clowns are a real joke and would be funny, if it weren't such a serious subject.
