Government acting like a private equity firm is directionally a dangerous move.  The state influencing or controlling the economy through corporate ownership and entanglement of private and public property weakens an important limit of governmental authority. 

This is a road we should not take.  

 

 

I have no problem with your take on the issue. I just laugh at the idea this would be a winner for the Dems to waste time and energy on.

You out on a sovereign wealth fund, then?  I was suprised on the old board that some conservatives were in favor of it.

If you look at a list of SWF's, not a lot of notoriously liberal states on there. Unless you count China, but I don't think of China as remotely liberal, simply because they are communist.

Yep, maybe go over there and buy up their sports and ruin their leagues like they do with us.  What sport do those A-rabs play, anyway?

the Trump Administration has under active consideration the U.S. Government taking equity positions in Intel and a rare earth magnet operation in California.  I understand their rationale for this, but good lord, this reminds of 1930’s Germany.

They can’t do anything except say fascist, Hitler, Putin, racism, and authoritarian in different combinations.  

Some of us have been saying that this administration echoes 1930s Germany for some time. Glad to see you've come around.

Too many variables in SWF’s to make a one-size-fits-all comment.

Eh. The democrats have done so well with immigration, crime, energy, and DEI, maybe they should just stay the course.
