You could say that, and more.

 

Just one more example of government waste via publicly-funded subsidies to wealthy corporations.

 

I get it. I know that as soon as I mention that serial conman Trump, y'all get out your facts-be-gone spray.

 

Does not matter to me if it was Trump or any other politician, but a con is a con. Making grandiose promises to shake down the public and secure political currency with no deliverable is a con.

 

And too many of our politicians are cut from the same cloth.

Scott Walker was a real mess. The Koch/Walker model is still being used today in some red states. Wisconsin is basically where it started.

Yeah… WTF would anyone ever believe a Chinese LCD factory is a good idea? Was Foxconn looking for a 15x labor increase on low margin products and far more operationally intrusive regulation??
