So, who do you believe?
Amanda Carpenter is Ted Cruz’s communications director. Tom Buis is a Democratic CEO (and lobbyist) of an energy company that could simply not exist without federal subsidies. Strictly speaking, they’re both partisan. On the other hand: it’s pretty clear from both Twitter accounts that Ted Cruz has precisely zero compulsions against giving his opinion, however unpopular it might be. The difference is that Buis – who used to work for Tom Daschle, a Senator who turned out to be all too corruptible by the Beltway – is perhaps a bit bitter about that. Such a pity.
Be interesting to see how the other candidates handle the issue of ag subsidies.
