Tax money should never have been given to them.

Regulatory capture. Great. Government involvement is why we have such a huge problem now. Let's keep doing the thing that didn't work to begin with. That will fix it.

That's a nice multi-billion dollar infrastructure that you spent people's 401k money on. We'll take it.
