I cancelled my subscription last year after getting sick of all of the fortune articles proclaiming the "green energy" and "electric car" companies were viable businesses without any mention of their reliance on government handouts in order to compete with traditional energy and car businesses.

You must have been born after the Carter years, when unemployment & interest rates were both higher than in this recession. Maybe you were in still in diapers when Reagan slashed taxes, eliminated needless bureaucratic regulations, and led the dismantling of USSR which created a peace dividend that allowed for dramatic cuts in defense spending. Oh by the way, the GDP tripled under Reagan. Perhaps you were going through puberty when Gingrich led a Republican takeover of the House and then over-rode Clinton's two vetoes of welfare reform and then passed budgets that provided a surplus for the first time in 40 years. Now that you have graduated into the land of Obama,might I suggest you study some history in your free time.
