This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.

Principles vs. Pandering
It seems to me that the Ethanol issue in Iowa gives us a good chance to see a big difference in Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Cruz is for phasing out the federal government subsidy of the ethanol industry by 2022. Trump supports it and wants an even bigger subsidy. Both need to win Iowa, the all important first state to vote. A whole lot of Iowans benefit from the ethanol subsidy. Cruz stood on his principles. Trump pandered to the ethanol lobby.
Ioawans naturally will vote for Trump. Self-interest trumps (pun intended) all.
