So you want to be president?

Wait just a minute their, Ohio Republicans want the Federal government to give a company 2 billion dollars of the tax payers money. Which one is the greater proof that Republican talk out of their a$$es when it comes to spending, that they want the federal government to spend more money or that this is spending is contrary to free market? If I was the President I would tell the Ohio GOP to have the invisible hand of the free market fund the reactor.

Every domestic expenditure of federal taxpayer dollars should have to pass a few basic challenges. 1: Is it a federal government issue? (In other words, does the US Constitution grant the federal government authority to act?). 2: Does the issue involve more than one state? 3: Is the issue one of basic infrastructure, or is it simply the government picking winners and losers in free enterprise? 4: How will the money used be covered (paid for)? In other words, does this nuclear facility meet a constitutionally backed, national infrastructure need? Or will it just help Ohio? While I think this project does pass some of the tests, the big questions in this economy is, how will the money be covered and does it help our national infrastructure. If it would improve the energy grid and can be "paid for", yes I'd probably approve it. Otherwise, nope, nope, nope. ~~~~~~ Side note: I've never considered being president an easy job, as attested by the presidents aging over 4-8 years. :~)

This is the first I have heard of this. I wish the government would get out of funding businesses and go about the business of giving people in the private sector the power to build them and fund themselves. That is how the government is supposed to work.
