MegaVote: GA 13th, 9/20/2010

My representative, David Scott, voted to grant 5 billion dollars to fund "energy efficient loans".  I think I know what that means, but what the title says don't really make sense. Money use has its own efficiencies, but a government promoting energy efficiency is likely to yield the opposite. I hope that someday,elected officials learn that efficiencies are learned by actions of persons seeking profit.  The process is financial evolution and happens by the failure and sucess of a an infinite number of transactions.  Read your Hayek.
