You have already stated your priority to continue the subsidies for the oil industry, although the industry appears to be faring quite well in this economy. I don't recall you stating whether you favor continuing the agribusiness subsidies.

As far as "subsidies", I would not favor denying the oil industry tax deductions (what the left would characterize as subsidies) that are available to any business/industry. I would vastly prefer a business tax that is at a flat, predictable and internationally competitive rate that contains no special deductions for any industry. You cannot point me to a single one of my posts where I've stated that I am in favor of "subsidies". Quit leading the witness, counselor.
Yes, the Repub's are seeking to leverage the debt limit scenario to their advantage. That's what politics is all about. Just like the donkeys capitalized on single party rule in 2009 - 2010 to push their own agenda to the deteriment of the country.
