a largest "one year subsidy" does not define whether the losses were $1 or $1 billion....it merely states how much more they got.

They are under the control of the government. And how many private enterprises do you know that would continue to run in the red by billions with no requirement to improve?

Misconceptions. Yes some people are confused by reality.

Dept. of Energy formed under Jimmy Carter to drive the country toward energy independence and eliminate ever waiting inline for gas from foreign oil. Since being formed it now employs hundreds of thousands of people. We have doubled the amount of foreign oil that we are dependent upon. There are no programs this organization can pursue unless approved by congress and the POTUS....who have not approved anything for them to work on. This one does not have to show a profit. All it has to do is exist and burn money at a ate faster than can be printed.

Government jobs accomplishing nothing on your dime.

Misconception. Not hardly.
