Your name on a NBA basketball arena: $4 million a year.
Three states worth of huge wine cellars filled with trophy wines and a collection of antique boats: $9
Antique map collection: $10
$28.8 million in State government picking economic winner and loser money to pay for it all: priceless!
Why artificial bubble economics, crony capitalism, 'know-better' interventionism, the economics of Fascism, socialism with a capitalistic facade or what ever name you wish to put on it? For the difference between 13,000 jobs last year and 4,900 in 2006... for 8,100 jobs that turned out to be naught temporary... for the bubble as if it would never collapse and as if history doesn't teach of hardship in the wake of bubble collapse?
To give substance to the welfare for the rich demagoguery of the class warfare socialist?
There is no substitute for free enterprise because the winners it produces are chosen by free market forces which truly do know better... those forces know better because their winners and losers are a reflection of the peoples choice.
Good gosh quit with the 'know-better' pretense already and put an end to this Fascist non-sense.
