What you have added to this thread should be sufficient information alone to stop government handouts to any companies, ever. The Revolving Door, and the Fountain of Money coming out of the sewer of DC has to be stopped.

They are using monopoly money - totally imaginary - but crippling real people’s ability to earn real money at the same time.

Restaurants in DC are packed, reservations required, prices high, no housing crisis at all, because of the thousands of people working as lobbyists.

It is obscene.

I have no qualm about banks making money, but the revolving door from Wall Street to the White House and back has got to stop. It’s pay-to-play on steroids.

They’re the new robber barons and they have the D.C. political elites in their hip pockets.
