White House, Solyndra and all that

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig . . .

In this time of record debt, I question whether the government is qualified to act as a venture capitalist, picking winners and losers in speculative ventures and shelling out billions of taxpayer dollars to keep them afloat, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) said Wednesday during a subcommittee hearing on the Solyndra loan guarantee.

. . . 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.)
