Neither party should do it. Ever!
Their only excuse is "they've got the money". Our only defense is to "take the money away" -- thus leaving it in the hands of capitalists better able to determine the worthiness of the particular investment.
I cannot recall a single occasion when government intervention in an industry produced a positive result.
Maybe I’m too idealistic, but I despise corruption and crony capitalism even worse than I hate government and bureaucrats.
Corruption is about connections and self serving, and pols of both Parties are inherently corrupt. When it comes down to a vote, I vote integrity and honesty first not politics. You see these candidates running for office and their integrity is suspect and questionable from day one. Integrity starts by being proud of one’s actions that get put on the front page. The media can lie as well as the candidates.
