    The electoral college depends on votes - and the electoral college only controls a single branch of government. If you aren't voting for your senators, regional reps, etc. as well as governors, attorneys general,etc. you aren't allowing the system of checks and balances to work for you.

    Well, they are when they do it with their own money. When they get political payback for big compaign contributions, they consider that a return of investment for politicans they've paid off.

    yea, but a return of investment is a return of investment......I don't believe the intentions of multi-billion dollar Corporations have the common man's interest at stake....all they care about is their profits!

    This isn't subsidies - which I actually could make a sold case for. (There's some reasons we pay less than the Europeans but never suffer a lack of supply.) This is about use of stimulus money that was supposed to go for job creation. based on the goverment study, this stimulus usage cost Americans someplace well north of $1.3 million per job created.

    I understand that, but I think we should just keep giving our money to the most profitable industry in human history. It sounds like a good idea to me.
