This is the money quote for me, because it applies to both parties;
As important as this economic damage is the corrosive effect that corporate welfare has on public trust in government. Americans understand that powerful government invariably favors the powerful, who have the means and access to massage Congress and the bureaucracy that average citizens do not. This really is aid to the 1% paid by the other 99%.
The only solution is to make the government less powerful. This at least seems to be a talking point in America. In Europe?-not so much.
Nah, Owies love them some corporate welfare…as long as the corporations getting it are called by names like “Greenpeace” and “New York Communities for Change” (née ACORN).
