So, Romney's Bain Capital is worse at picking winners and losers than the U.S government?

It's hardly apples to apples when Bain is risking its own money, so has to know when to cut its losses. Whereas the government doesn't give a shit about wasting taxpayer money, so it's quite willing to throw more money at a company than its worth.

This.  For proof, just look at General Motors... billions ot taxpayer dollars thrown at it by Uncle Sam just to keep the auto workers unions fat and happy.  GM's stock would have to more than double for the gov't, aka the taxpayers, to make their money back.
