Less Than Free Enterprise

Less Than Free Enterprise tells the story of a small alternative energy bill that was expected to cost $61 million, but will ultimately drain the U.S. treasury of $9 billion to $10 billion. It is a tale of government waste, bureaucratic indifference, and corruption at the highest levels of the U.S. government. One in-committee health care vote was worth $9 billion taxpayer dollars; at least Senators Baucus and Kerry were willing to pay that much for Senator Snowe’s vote.
