Here's a thing.

CHFA funded $6.8 million in New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) financing to support Women's Bean Project, a nonprofit social enterprise that employs and provides self-sufficiency programs to support chronically unemployed women.

Yep, the federal government subsidized financing for the new production facility. They also received funding under a White House program. And the tax free status of both the bean farm that produces the beans and the entity that makes and sells the suits plus the tax deductible nature of donations are an indirect government subsidy.

These are great programs. But they are able to exist in large part because of the government — not in spite of it. And there aren’t enough of them to meet the needs.

The government could run programs like this at scale. But we won’t allow that because it would be socialism, and socialism is bad.
Do you suppose that the government initiated these types of programs?

Nope. Like I said, that would be socialism.
