Why should tax money go to helping corporations develop new products?!?!

Tax money could and should go to help drive innovation, but we are doing it wrong. There is so much Corporate and University influence and doing stuff like driverless cars. How many billions were wasted on "Shovel Ready Jobs" that never materialized??

What happened to the Green Fuel revolution? Fusion (OK, so a stretch)?

Both parties are beholden to those that pull their strings, not the American citizen as it should be and as it was designed to be.

he should give that money to GE so that they can develop a cookerless stove...now that would be a great use of tax dollars

But in the Socialist nationalized economy some bureaucrat will order the people's factory to instead produce 1 trillion shovels and that factory manager will receive a hero of the united workers unite medal.

We are only Nineteen Trillion in debt, gutting our military while we are being threatened,
why not throw in moving side walks to take us to the shovel ready jobs. Insanity.
