Not really. Corruption is part and parcel to the District of Criminals from BOTH Party's- can you say Solyndra?Well, the swamp is still there and has become more toxic than any White House of Political Party in our lifetime.
Almost exactly four years after solar panel startup Solyndra filed for bankruptcy, the ghost of the company has now risen again, for seemingly the umpteenth time. And no it wasn’t from another awkward Republican Presidential debate.
This time the haunting is in the form of a report from the Inspector General’s Office, which after more than four years of investigation, concluded that Solyndra officials used inaccurate information to mislead the Department of Energy in its application for a $535 million loan guarantee. The report also found that there were shortcomings with the DOE’s process of managing and approving the loan guarantee to Solyndra.
Why the Solyndra mistake is still important to remember

Nice try bozo, the sad fact is 700 million was given to a trucking company which was also 100 million in the red; "That company, YRC Worldwide, had lost more than $100 million in 2019 and was being sued by the Justice Department over claims it defrauded the federal government for a seven-year period. But six weeks after the hearing, YRC received a bailout from the Treasury Department — a $700 million loan in exchange for a 30% stake in the business. The company’s stock price soared 74%, although it has come down since."
So Mnuchin has purchased a failing truck company for $165,000 dollars. That's a great investment, and I wonder why you whine about a mistake vis a vis a clear example of a swamp critter squandering taxpayer money.
sounds like they were trying to prevent the company from going under, probably to save jobs.
what part of this offends you?
Crony Capitalism. How many small restaurants have gone under along with their employees? 700 Million Dollars to one company seems to odd and crooked to me.
bigger company gets more attention, is not crony capitalism.
that is a inherent flaw in the idea of government intervention like this.
i ask again, what part of this offends you?
oh wait, is this just ORANGE MAN BAD?
you don't care whether it is valid, just throwing shit out there, to create the illusion that where there is smoke there must be fire?
Size matters? How many drivers were laid off vis a vis the hundred of thousand restaurant employees?
BTW, Orange Man ain't only bad, he's evil, he is also mentally, emotionally and intellectually unfit to be POTUS, or to hold any office of Trust.
correct. size matters. a couple of hundred in a single lump gets more attention that thousands spread though out hundreds of businesses.
it is an inherent flaw in the concept of government intervention.
orange man bad, but all you have in your op to support that idea, is a complaint that is more about the weakness of the concept of government intervention, than anything trump is responsible for.
your weak support of your premise, makes it look like it might be completely wrong.
hey! what do you think about a mayor ordering the police to stand down, so that violent mobs can wage war against the federal government?
that seems more of a scandal than a trucking company being bailed out.
you upset about that? or is that "different" because of "Reasons"?
Your "logic" is all over the place. Write a clear argument in defense of Trump, and a rebuttal to my arguments. Your attack on the word chaos is semantic, a logical fallacy. Crony Capitalism created chaos in the White House, his flip flopping on Mask wearing has exacerbated the culture war, his firing of career civil servants and replacing them with Yes Men (cronies) has made our foreign policy a nightmare and his appointment of Barr to be the AG has made our legal system a mockery.
