he's making a joke that I think is pretty clear, and jokes are only funny when they're stripped to their essentials.

if anybody holds the perspective that the govt should use public funds to save a set of companies because ma jobs, ma innovations, etc. in the venture capital sector it would seem that person does hold that perspective, at least enough to joke about it.

Unless you're making a more unlikely point that the government should be intervening all the time?
