You know, I would ask why the left isn't as outraged by this as normal American's, but then I realized since they live off of government instead of paying taxes like we do, what the fuck do they care when government is wasting hundreds of millions on bullshit like this?

A great deal of money was doled out for green type projects and endeavors. While there have been a few abysmal failures well documented, all the successes are ignored. As in any investment portfolio, there are winners and losers. You look at the overall picture; you don't just bitch about the few losers. But since this is political, I guess that is what you do.

Great point my friend. But one glaring problem with your statement. It is not the job of the federal government to "invest" my tax dollars. My tax dollars are strictly for running the federal government in accordance with their Constitutional responsibilities. Nothing less, nothing more. I've always found it disturbing that the left simply doesn't understand that reality. They believe tax dollars are designed to be thrown around as a way to "advance" whatever agenda is on the table of the president.
Investing is the job of the private sector (where there is actual accountability - hence almost no waste and a lot more successes than failures).
In the world of startups, $1 billion Instagram exits are the exception, not the rule. Failure is a fact every experienced startup founder is intimately familiar with. For all the glittering Groupons and Facebooks of the world, there are thousands of festering remains of once promising startups languishing in the deadpool.
The failure rate is so high that Harvard Business School estimates 95 percent of new businesses fail if failure is defined as failure to meet a set projection. This rate falls down to 70-80 percent if failure is defined as inability to get adequate return on investment. The rate goes down further to 40 percent if we define failure as investors losing all or most money put into the company.
Sobering thought, but also something every star struck entrepreneur should consider before plunging headfirst into this pool. Failure is an ever threatening reality in business, and the sooner you accept this fact, the better youll fare.
And that is where you are absolutely wrong. The government invests tax dollars in all sorts of private business, and has for decades.
The government redistributes money back to private companies to build weapons for our defense
to build and repair the roads we drive on
to improve water distribution and all sorts of other things
It also diverts money into scientific research whether it is directly through agencies such as NASA or indirectly by supporting research at universities for all types of things
And as for the private sector having more successes than failures, the fact is the private sector has massive failures all the time. You obviously don't understand much about how business really works in the "real world".
the left isn't as outraged by this as normal American's
Do you mean normal Americans who voted Obama into office three months ago, or normal Americans who can read and write better than you do?
Seriously - "American's"???
And that is where you are absolutely wrong. The government invests tax dollars in all sorts of private business, and has for decades.
Boy, vintage liberal "logic" here at its finest. Just because the government has been doing something, doesn't mean it's right, ok, or legal. The government sold weapons to Iran to fund Contra rebels. That was illegal at the time based on legislation passed by Congress. The government also created the MK-Ultra program (again, highly illegal). Should I continue? You have to do better than this son. This is a nonsensical statement to claim "government has done X for decades". The reason I'm bitching is because the government has no Constitutional authority to do "X".
The government redistributes money back to private companies to build weapons for our defense
One of the dumbest staements of all time. They do not "redistribute money" to private companies for defense weapons. They contract/purchase with/from those private companies in a completely legal and Constitutional agreement. Defense is the #1 Constitutional priority of the federal government, and paying for goods or service from a private company is not "redistributing" - it's purchasing. Again, you have to do a lot better than this son. This is weak, flat out wrong, and you know it.
Again, unconstitutional as roads are the responsibility of the local government in which said road resides
Again, unconstitutional as "water distribution" is not the Constitutional responsibility of the federal government.
It also diverts money into scientific research whether it is directly through agencies such as NASA or indirectly by supporting research at universities for all types of things
Completely and totally unacceptable unless the research is the Constitutional responsibility of the federal government (such as defense research).
And as for the private sector having more successes than failures, the fact is the private sector has massive failures all the time. You obviously don't understand much about how business really works in the "real world".
How many people invest in new businesses? I would venture to say less than 1%. Most new businesses are small businesses - hence not publicly traded, hence no investors (of course, there are some investors through private agreements, but that is the exception).
That need is determined by elected representatives whom we vote for, therefore making that redistribution legal and Constitutional.
Your far right view of the Constitution doesn't make it true
And whether the government contracts for defense or not, it is still redistribution of money.

I have a HUGE problem with all federal "subsidies". They are unconstitutional and simply shouldn't exist.Farmers get paid for the same thing every year, but no complaints?You know, I would ask why the left isn't as outraged by this as normal American's, but then I realized since they live off of government instead of paying taxes like we do, what the fuck do they care when government is wasting hundreds of millions on bullshit like this?

Both sides have certainly taken to it. The government is not good at making business decisions, heck they are often not that good at running government.No argument here! Unfortunately, the left loves corporate welfare almost as much as they love public welfare.The government should never be giving tax payer funds to private business.
