[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 39698, member: 126"] Re: Gibson raided Life is too short to catalog this kind of nonsense, which is the rule rather than the exception. The problem is that apparently enough voters look upon this bringing home the pork as a "something for nothing" win, or at least getting some tax dollars back as a zero sum game, while it's never even zero sum on a good day. There's always shrinkage. A pattern in this supposed investment in green jobs, is short term construction and photo opportunities. Building a new factory is very low on the list for any fledgling business... investing in new product R and D would almost be a good use of tax dollars, but if they had a good enough idea, they could get plenty of private money... The solar industry is sucking wind, because all of the euro subsidies have dried up... Not to be a broken record but a sustainable business shouldn't need subsidies to prosper... Did Steve Jobs need a government leg up to make apple I-control the world? No he took a good idea and executed well. JR [/QUOTE]
