for the country. and i think you will see that vote cast around here in the next 46 hours. what will you say to your constituents as we wrap up here if this deal is not met and not done in time to avoid a default? well, i would say to them i m cboing to keep working until it is. we have a responsibility to pay the country s bills and get the economy back on track. i m not leaving until that is done. time for one more question. if you could just kind of succinctly talk about a couple of possibilities you discussed in terms of ethanol products, oil companies doing their part to help solve this and also a surtax on millionaires. i think that the ethanol subsidy is one of the worst things we have. we pay farmers to sell corn to ethanol companies to produce gasoline that is more expensive than regular gasoline and pollutes more and raids the public treasury at the same time. that is a crazy loophole that i
president and leaders willing to say let s cast the vote that a lot of people won t like because we think it is right for the country. and i think you will see that vote cast around here in the next 46 hours. what will you say to your constituents as we wrap up here if this deal is not met and not done in time to avoid a default? well, i would say to them i m cboing to keep working until it is. we have a responsibility to pay the country s bills and get the economy back on track. i m not leaving until that is done. time for one more question. if you could just kind of succinctly talk about a couple of possibilities you discussed in terms of ethanol products, oil companies doing their part to help solve this and also a surtax on millionaires. i think that the ethanol subsidy is one of the worst things we have. we pay farmers to sell corn to ethanol companies to produce gasoline that is more expensive than regular gasoline and pollutes more and raids the
