The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?"
The most of our current troubles are simply self-inflicted. We allowed to be elected the wrong people. There is still time to reverse things and save them. But not much.
The simple fact is, trump has used Sec 321, the national security provision to justify his actions. Congress can take that authority away from him at any time simply by passing a law. Even the Republicans have begun to question his use of this authority in this way for this situation. As for the ethanol situation, the Republicans, particularly the farm state republicans have clearly abrogated their oversight responsibilities, they simply have.
I'm sorry but the way to solve both problems is to replace enough Republicans in Congress and the Senate to properly supervise this administration.
Keep clearly in mind these essential words of the Declaration of Independence, "the pursuit of happiness". The words "pursuit of happiness" is not an admonition to " get drunk and be happy". The words "pursuit of happiness" in their Eighteenth Century meaning is "the right to chose" what's best for you. We live under an adversarial political system where you have stand up for what's best for you, individually and collectively. If you don't do that, it's assumed that "you don't care" and the other guy gets to do whatever he wants.
And that's "liberal" philosophy for you.
