  1. Sadly, the article fails to make the connection between this one example of government failure and the broader policy and practice of government investment/ownership in private enterprises. The US government has no constitutional authority or responsibility to engage in the picking of winners and losers for investment (and, by definition, such activity is unconstitutional). Further, its level of performance in such activities has been universally dismal. Lastly, its engaging in such activities subverts normal market forces, causing far more disruption than just the investment losses.

Either they are trying to crash the economy or they have no idea what they are doing. Either way it’s bad for the US citizen.

  3. Good to see you Mr. Milloy. Did something happen to Barry? It’s unlike him to be absent like this

  4. The car’s name is often misspelled, it’s “Dolt”.
