Lmao. Yea cause people investing their own money into companies is the same as the government forcing taxpayers to buy into companies that they probably have never heard about and definitely had no say in the investment. The fact is, the government shouldn't even have a track record in investments. That's not why the government was established.

That and you also have to wait and see. Bain's record is over many years/decades, while Obama's is only for 3-4 years. He may end up with a 80-90% fail record. Hell, just a week or 2 ago another green company (can't remember their name, but they made batteries for electric cars) went belly up.

The third way (free market economics with intervention on an as-needed basis) has more or less been government's role since the emergence of the proto-capitalist epoch.
