We all lose when Government tries to pick winners

This Times Leader story highlights how government should not be in the "economic development" business. The best thing government could do for our economy is GET OUT OF THE WAY!

You can also check out this Policy Brief from 2002, Budget Basic: Pennsylvania’s Economy Loses When Policymakers Try to Pick Winners. We've been saying "We told you so" for a loooong time!
