Venture Socialism

Columnist David Harsanyi has coined a great new name - "venture socialist." I like it. President Obama is one. As Harsanyi notes:

"They enjoy 'investing' your money in exploding electric vehicles, bullet trains and other highly unprofitable but morally satisfying economic misadventures. Venture socialism is certainly empathetic."


Indeed. And the cool part is that they don't have to worry about any "return" on their investment, excepting of course campaign contributions. Solyndra got over $500,000,000 in public funds and I would love to see how much of that came back as campaign contributions. The poor American taxpayers? Let them eat cake.
