For the record: if your business plan requires &#8211; not benefits from; requires &#8211; an annual bailout from the federal government in order to function, then by definition you have a bad business plan.  Mostly because you are not actually in business; you are a parasite pretending to be a business.  I understand that this point has been obscured since the Democrats took Congress in 2007, but it bears repeating.  A lot of repeating.]]>Sun, 05 Dec 2010 10:30:15 -0500<![CDATA[Moe Lane]]>https://redstate.com/moe_lane/2010/12/05/big-wind-looking-for-federal-handout-n37202
