<<<<the timber company made a profit and took NO money (payoffs) from Obama.>>>> Absolutely incorrect! The timber company made a profit BECAUSE they took money from the government. If it cost the government more to put the timber up for sale than they got from the timber company - the remainder was a subsidy from the government - NO different than subsidizing solar panels. And then to throw in the fact that the timber company ALSO made a profit building the roads and building the bridges (at tax payer expense) - would be no different than the government building the building for the solar panel company to operate out of FOR FREE! ......................Nowwwwwwwww, if the timber company went bankrupt, would they then have created wealth?
