Bad, bad and worse.
I can almost see helping a fledgling industry get started. But if it fails, cut off the support.

That's what we have capitalism for! People who think there is some value in "helping" a fledgling industry can take their own money pool it with other like minded people and risk it on the idea that at some point the market will develop and reward their foresight. Why should every taxpayer bear the brunt of confirming failures the market has already identified.
