David Cay Johnston on Subsidies
The video is fixed - stlo7
When David Cay Johnston spoke on Feb 16th he was asked a bunch of questions. I’m reviewing the video, but my favorite so far is one on Government subsidies in the form of COMIDA, IDAs and such. Eventually Joe Robach built upon that question and asked about subsidies from the viewpoint of a State Legislator.
You see, it seems poor Joe is in a pickle, as he claims in the question - he gets flak from both sides. Corporate Welfare or Job Creation.
Let’s have a look,
What does David Cay Johnston say? Where do you get the most bang for government Subsidy?
- Education
- R&D
- Infrastructure
- Manufacturing
- Definitely NOT retail
So I’ll be looking through our local COMIDA records for following that order. While I’m at it, let’s look at Robach’s record for IDA reform as well.

Sorry - I’ll bet it is still a “private” video on youtube. I’ll correct it and repost as soon as I get youtube access later today.
