re: corporate welfare vs socialism

I'd just like to see how the "incentives" are offset by any potential economic gains.

For example, say Indiana taxpayers cough up $7 mil to save to 1,000 jobs. If, for example, those 1,000 jobs generate $10 mil in economic activity, then we may have something here.

I spend time in a state that relies HEAVILY on incentives to bring in jobs. The results, according to most of the stuff I've read, are mixed, and as a result, there's been a big taxpayer-driven push to make the state's public-private economic development organization more transparent in the way it operates.
