Perhaps tax dollars should not be used to engineer economic outcomes.

If you get too big to fail, why avoid failure? It’s about incentives.

How useful or efficient or competitive do you think taxpayer-funded Sprint would be today? What makes you think they would suddenly start being good with an influx of tax money when they weren’t good before free money injections?

Tax dollars were paid back in full with interest. It was an investment with ROI - plus the preserved American jobs.
