Just pointing out the utter hypocrisy of whining about tiny TSLA when true waste is elsewhere.

F-35 Total Costs Soar to $1.5 Trillion; Lockheed Defends Program

If eliminating waste were your true motive, starting at the top of payouts would be best.
Not cherrypicking smaller programs you just don't like.

No, you condemn them all and get as many as you can when you can.

You guys, LOL.

It irrefutable fact that the transcontinental railroad could not have been built when it was without government support. Asa Whitney and the other visionaries of the railroad lobbied congress for government support to get it built. So if they couldn't do it without government support, at what point is US history would have it been built? And what would have been the impact to the growth of the US because of that delay? We'd probably be a third-world nation. Nice try, guys.

Whoops......

The "Pacific Railroad Acts" were a series of acts of Congress that promoted the construction of a "transcontinental railroad" (the "Pacific Railroad") in the United States through authorizing the issuance of government bonds and the grants of land to railroad companies. Although the War Department under then Secretary of War Jefferson Davis was authorized by the Congress in 1853 to conduct surveys of five different potential transcontinental routes from the Mississippi ranging from north to south and submitted a massive twelve volume report to Congress with the results in early 1855, no route or bill could be agreed upon and passed authorizing the Government's financial support and land grants until the secession of the Southern states removed their opposition to a central route.
