Government subsidies don't go over well in Texas. If we had the government pay for everything, we wouldn't be very conservative then, would we?
Conflict of interest? It will probably be a source of talking points, but let's get this vetted by the American public and see. For a measly $5,000 of campaign donation (measly for a big business donating to a major politician's campaign funds) and everything done in public for all to scrutinize and investigate at the time, I think you'll not see this talking point gaining much steam. It just doesn't make sense other than it was what it was. But like I said, let's get this vetted and go on.
Sorry, chav, this thingy-dingy ain’t goin’ away soon.
