they want a govt handout. Cruz knows we're a nation on the edge of bankruptcy. If an industry or tech cannot exist or survive without govt intervention, the FREE MARKET lets it go under.
I get it, it's the heartblood of a state, etc... but there were a lot of buggy builders put out of business when the automobile arrived. Imagine the govt spending billions a year - fighting free market forces - to keep the buggy makers and buggy whip makers in business.
IMO, they get it because it's iowa, and nobody wants to be hated in Iowa. Props to cruz for having the balls to say the unpopular - yet necessary - thing here. Trump will promise any spending to anyone, he's an ass.
