At this point we have to acknowledge the obvious hypocrisy is the point. That's how you project the real power structure, not what laws or high minded narratives suggest.

Keep in mind, that $2.6b is mostly the revenue to small businesses. “It is the declared policy of the Congress that the Government should aid, counsel, assist, and protect, insofar as is possible, the interests of small-business concerns” 15 USC 631.

YES!! I have been screaming this to my reps. Billions in subsidies to a billionaire who is inside the government is the textbook definition of WASTE, FRAUD & ABUSE! Flip the script, people! We need to be calling for this at every turn!

-Lost 78% of his investment last year. -Trades based on emotions. -No history of being against EV subsides until last few months. Scott Galloway (bot account) ladies and gentlemen.

Cut subsidies to TSLA because now Global Warming somehow doesn’t matter? Is all that matters now harrassing Elon because he’s been tasked by the president with cutting waste and fraud and the size of govt. and he has volunteered his time and energy to this task?

OK, I’ll take the bait: Companies conduct layoffs all the time but it rarely makes the news. When was the last time anyone tried to slim down govt? Clinton and Gore? I agree that it sucks but 8 mo. of pay is a decent, fair severance package. Again I agree layoffs suck but something has to be done

Our country’s reliance on corporate subsidies is proof that the “free market” is a myth. The economy has always been structured and controlled to produce the desired results. It just so happens the desired result is to benefit a handful of companies and small group of super wealthy individuals.

The hypocrisy, on top of the arrogance and indifference to the effects on everyday people, some of whom voted for Trump. I think nothing can surprise me more, but I keep being proven wrong.

Why didn’t they start at the Pentagon? Waste fraud and abuse is a lot easier when you have thousands of subcontractors, gouging government agencies and they haven’t had an audit in almost a decade Perhaps not the grandma in assisted living, which is what they really want to crush

I'm against subsidizing Tesla because nobody subsidized my mom's babyshit brown '74 Pinto wagon with stimulated wood grain finish. Sure, they exploded too, but at least the body panels didn't fly off while driving

This is a gut-wrenching, beautifully written essay. A doctor must watch helplessly as children die because USAID's freeze on aid has limited access to nutritional supplements. time.com/7258248/us-f...

it was never about getting rid of fraud waste or abuse. We have government watchdogs and inspectors generals for that. It's always been about manipulating government for their own ends, for their own profit base
