Reagan started this shit, and now they know the scam of bait and switch corporate welfare has been exposed now they simply don't give a fuck about hiding it any more.

People in power hate checks and balances. This is nothing new. All hail the oligarchy.

Well, it's like using an eyedropper to empty the bilge tanks of the Exxon Valdez, but damn, there is 3 ccs less shit in the fucking swamp.

To be honest, it would seem that Trump is the man we can thank for this, after his latest string of tweets. But I have a feeling they'll go ahead with this plan at a later date once everyone forgets about it.
