You're missing the bigger point--once the federal government has the power to confiscate people's money and speculate use it to speculate, that's what happens. There's no avoiding it--that's what people always do with a pot of other people's money: fight.
That's why the Founding dudes set up a federal gov't that's only supposed to do certain listed things, not take our liberty, jobs, and labor to blindly speculate in bogus tech companies.

President Obama calls it "getting your fair share."
Inherently, the bigger it gets, the more people are tempted. Eventually, they'll have no choice. When the government takes so much that you can barely get by, they own you. Own you. Obama's put record numbers of people in that position. Ironic, isn't it?

These were government investments made to create jobs and stimulate the eco nomy, they were not made to enrich cronies, unlike some of the Bush adminis tration purchases. Care to explain just how A123 was bogus, what was the sh am there?

This is happening because everyone is screaming for the government TO DO SO METHING about the economy. Like or leave it, this is what the majority of p eople in this country want, and the majority rules.

The sham is that nobody needed that. The people are supposed to decide those things, not Feds.
Taking our money to support A123, the gov't makes it harder for us to support other, better things that people really want. Harder to support ourselves, too.

The Democrats, in the 1960's, discovered that that could use government money to create an underclass that would reliably vote for them. I love Caesar Chavez' summary of the situation. He told poor farmworkers not to use birth control because it "reduces the numerical power of the poor."
The "What's Wrong with Kansas?" perplexity of the leftists stems from the fact that some people still have principles. Leftists are dumbfounded by principles.

James,
The government used less than $1 of your money to try to encourage what was hoped would be both American technology to battle foreign competition and creation of jobs. Creating jobs is "job 1" at the moment in my opinion. I can't say these efforts were a total waste.
As to the dollar, send me a SASE and I'll mail you the dollar. I don't mind doing good things with my money, even if they don't always work out. Oh, and I'll send you the $2 for Solyndra. Send it to.

If anyone else is this angry that the government tried to do a good thing which didn't work perfectly, please send me a SASE. I'll return $3 to the first 100 I receive. Maybe I'll do more depending on my finances...
BTW, right now there is a battle over the A123 assets between an American company and a Chinese company. Do you want to let the free market reign and let the highest bidder win? That would be the Chinese company at the moment at $465 Million!
I'd assume that nobody would elect to build new coal plants, and that older ones would be converted to gas or shut down because they aren't competitive. Clean coal would be even more expensive, and CO2 sequestration would be impossibly expensive.

The corn-to-ethanol program makes food unafordable, which fits right into expanding the food stamp program.
That *is* evil, manufacturing dependancy. It will increase the rich/poor split in the USA, the "numerical power of the poor." All by design. How much was Ted Kennedy worth? How about Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Harry Reid?

Here's current stuff on the impact of ethanol on food prices:

That article says we're headed from E10% to E15% gas, thanks to the EPA.
To their credit, I'd thought Democrats were pushing to end ethanol subsidies. (I lost track of what happened to that, another problem with a gov't that meddles in everything: no one can keep up. So, there's no effective oversight by the citizens.)
If you elect Romney, you will "electing" to build new "clean coal" power plants... at least if you can believe Romney. I have heard him talk about promoting "clean coal" a number of times, even when he isn't in coal country!
