Not totally but feel free to explain it to me. From what I can see, they would tax a certain industry they favored less in one way or the other. What I don't see is how doing that can mean it, as you put it "costs" the govt money but won't make them decide to take it from somewhere else.
Say they gave Company X a loan guarantee to help them get started, it has to cost some money somewhere. Where does this money come from?
I'm not being sarcastic but I don't see how you figure that their involvement is free. There HAS to be a price somewhere. You seem to be of the opinion that they can do something and NOT incur a cost while promoting something. That is a concept I am unfamiliar with. Perhaps you can explain to me how that is achieved.
Don't get me wrong. This LOOKS promising and might be an answer to some of our money issues if it works out. However, based on their past history of things getting more complicated with govt involvement and more costly in the long run, can we afford their price or would we be better with Guido the Loan Shark?
