GOP Tries to Pick Winners and Losers,
and Picks a Loser
One of the basic tenets of
conservatives is that the free market needs to be free of government
interference. They continually call for the government to refrain
from picking winners and loser by interfering or subsidizing the
market. But it turns out like all of their other positions they
really don't believe this, they
just want themselves to do the picking.
Some
power customers may need to be hit with higher electric bills in
order to prop up the declining coal-mining industry, the new chairman
of a federal energy board said on Thursday.
"It
would not be a federal subsidy," Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission Chairman Neil Chatterjee, a Kentucky native and former
adviser to Sen. Mitch McConnell, insisted in a conference call with
Kentucky reporters.
