Tea Party Patriot Curt Schilling works to save taxpayers' hard-earned dollars

By demanding more taxpayer money on top of the $75 million they have already given him.

I got it, why don't you run right out and cut the education budget or road repairs or police or hospitals or public parks or some other of that worthless bullshit that nobody cares about, in order to free up some more money you can hand out to the millionaire. Because he is A Job Creator.

 

Our government's dollars in action ---

They put $75 million into a bad investment and now instead of cutting losses they are considering throwing more money into the abyss.....

 

Curt Schilling - the new Denny McClain

 

Bootstraps!

 

The deal was rammed through in 2010 by then-governor, Republican Don Carcieri, faithfully following the ALEC/Koch game plan of diverting as much public money as possible to the billionaires while you have the chance, and strip everything for everybody else.

 

If 38 Studios defaults on the loan, Rhode Island taxpayers may be on the hook for $112 million to bondholders.

It very well might be in the state's best interests to see to it that 38 Studios succeed.

Still, this sure looks like a shitty deal, especially when it appears 38 Studios big September release "Project Copernicus" will not debut at E3.

$112 million is a lot to pay because you were impressed when some guy waved a bloody sock.

 

But, but, "he seemed to know the video game industry!"

If 38 studios fails and the state gets nailed for the $112 million, R.I. will have paid $388,888 for each of the jobs created. Somehow, I don't think any of the game designers are making that much money.

 

Sports Guy better open the checkbook.

 

"Watch me make Wayne's little sock bleed."

 

Unfortunately this won't lead to Schilling himself going broke, and since the guy is incapable of feeling shame there aren't going to be any consequences for him.

 

An awful deal for taxpayers, but still a bargain compared to Solyndra.
