Subsidies are usually a bad idea, unless it is necessary to maintain independent capacity in the national interest. Unless I'm mistaken, the US steel industry isn't the best stock pick right now. The rest of the world has modernized it's industry to be competitive, while the US industry has relied on subsidies. Campaign finance reform prevents me from expressing my views through my grass-roots organization during a critical period just before elections but does not prevent liberal-controlled media from biasing their output to influence the election in anyway they want.

I have yet to have anyone tell me exactly how the campaign finance reform infringes on the 1st amendment. There was a USSC decision that controlling campaign financing was not inherently a 1st amendment restriction. The fact that the USSC says the constitution says X doesn't mean it actually says X it merely means it will be treated as if it did say X. To say otherwise is to say the court can never be wrong because the constitution is whatever the court says it is. Tim
