. . . Home again, home again, market is done. And maybe, maybe, somewhere over the rainbow is an end of federal subsidy of pet “green” (as in money) enterprises.

(Apologies to nursery rhymers everywhere.)

Has it ever occurred to you that when Dems get their heart’s desires, they then lose support?
