Venture Socialism

In a Washington Times op-ed, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) criticized the Obama administration’s investments in green companies like Solyndra, which recently declared bankruptcy.

Wrote DeMint: “Billions more have been wasted by politicians betting on favored companies and making Washington bigger, using the brute force of government to force liberal preferences into the economy. Mr. Obama calls them ‘investments,’ but this is really venture socialism.”
