A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
The National political animals have zero shame. Belvidere, Gotion, Rivian, all join Solyndra and Lion Electric in subsidization ignominy. All these late giveaways to these DNC donation machines need to be clawed back when the adults return to control this insanity.
Stellantis is laying employees by the thousands and the political animal solution is to piss away more taxpayer dollars to prop up the company that wants to make more products that no one asked for.
The political contributions from these slush fund centers MUST be scrutinized.
Trump should issue executive orders to claw those dollars back and then let them challenge through the courts. Tie it up in the courts for years and watch them fail in the meantime.
Add up Belvidere, Gotion and Rivian and pretty soon we are talking about real money being flushed down the toilet on tech deals that the private sector won’t back but our all-seeing public officials will.
Let’s not forget the rush to shovel even more money to the Ukraine and student loans, before the “F Trump coming in “ giveaway ends.
