Less Government President Seton Motley issued the following statement in response to today’s White House “Digital Promise” announcement. Where the government “invests” (read: spends) our money in technology the exact same way it’s been “investing” in “green” energy – in utterly failed and/or corrupt fashion like with the Solyndra solar “energy” company. Which just declared bankruptcy – taking down with it more than half a billion of our dollars.
“Government allegedly ‘investing’ in the private sector is at best using American taxpayer money to choose winners and losers – and far more often than not losers over winners. These are decisions best left to American consumers spending their own money in the free market. And it is unconstitutional – the Founding Fathers did not design the federal government to be a venture capital firm.
“Government allegedly ‘investing’ in the private sector is at worst Crony Socialism, a wide-open door to Solyndra-esque corruption and political paybacks.
“The end result of ‘Digital Promise’ is as predictable as it is pathetic. If there is any way to stop this latest inevitable and inevitably colossal Obama Administration waste, let us by all means do so.”
