More proof that just because you throw a shit ton of money at something doesn't make it a viable product that people will want to buy. Or make it competitive in the market.
Just let the green retards keep throwing billions of tax payer dollars at alternative energy to see many of the companies crap out.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Even if there are billions going into greener energy projects, they're competing with a trillion dollar industry. Change is difficult when you're going up against behemoths who own the energy industry.Comment

Forgive me if I'm misremembering, but the problem is that any powers not specifically enumerated in the Constitution, are supposed to fall under state/local jurisdiction.Originally posted by Cliche Guevara View PostNeed parts now? Need them cheap? steve@blunttech.com

Of course it would.
If anything it helps put in place a false market (farm subsidies) when you pay farmers to farm or in many cases *not farm*.
Should I get paid by the Federal government to not produce more cabinets (basically do nothing) because I'm going to help flood the market with wood products? Assuming there may already be "too many" in the market place.
How about the feds focus on a system that tells farmers what they could produce in the market place that is under produced for the year instead of subsidies. Just one idea.Last edited by joshh; 06-02-2012, 10:00 PM.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Interesting. Very few people are consistent with that viewpoint. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you despise the Commerce Clause.Originally posted by joshh View Post

Do you also oppose federal funding for scientific research?Comment
