I don’t want to hear a single word about Democrats and socialism ever again. EVER.

CNBC: So we should expect the US government to be taking more equity stakes in businesses around the country?
KEVIN HASSETT: It's possible, yeah. That's absolutely right.

US government needs money for huge debt service! If spending cuts can't happen and taxes can't be further raised, then tariffs and corporate partnering are the next tools being used to raise money. Unsettling!

@boomerbayb
I am never happy with more government… Having said that… We didn’t “invest” essentially the shares were given… We’ve made $11 billion so far on that gift… Maybe there will be others… I take your point and I must say that’s unusual, and I am on the fence about this waiting to see how it plays out… it isn’t exactly socialism because the impetus is volunteered not mandated… So there’s that…

Jessica. A little knowledge truly can be a dangerous thing. You might want to study up on the difference between non voting shares and government taking ownership of a business

@jrbingham28056
I keep wishing to never hear from you again yet, I turn on @TheFive and there you are! Rest assured, I never watch for too long, I have more pressing matters to address rather than listen to your opinions. The last time you were on @TheFive I believe I watched some paint dry!

@tcwithers
the "socialism" began with the chips act when Intel was promised an 8b grant and 11b in loans.

@IvanLepiz
You will.

@pipspiper4
Trump administration takes 10% stake in Intel, channeling CHIPS Act funds—Biden's brainchild—into equity instead of free handouts.
Hassett floats more stakes to seed a sovereign wealth fund, turning subsidies into investments that might actually pay off for taxpayers.
Irony alert: Democrats, who birthed the trillion-dollar chip giveaway, now cry socialism when Republicans add a profit motive.
Funny how "government intervention" flips from heroic under Obama’s auto bailouts to evil when it’s non-voting shares in chips.
This isn’t Uncle Sam seizing factories; it’s smart capitalism shielding against China’s dominance in semis.
Tarlov’s outrage? Like a vegan outraged at someone eating lab-grown meat—close, but no burger.

@therealnick2
In socialist/communist countries companies are taken over and forced. They don’t have a choice.
This is different. Companies are choosing to form this partnership (only after they got a 10 Billion Grant by the way - also no board member seat/no votes for govt in this deal.
Jessica is too dumbbb to be on TV.

@ATTYBYCHOICE
Seems like there's a big difference between "if you want the US to invest in your business with taxpayer dollars, then the US wants a noncontrolling investor interest in return" and "hey, here's your neighbors' money and property that the US took from them to give to you for free"

@FBR77488088
The US government owning equity (stock) is not socialism Jessica. The beneficiary to the equity ownership is not @POTUS, but the government who receives a portion of a company's value and profits. It's often a short-term measure, as seen during the 2008 financial crisis

Socialism is ok to do now because Republicans aren’t crying 24/7 about it
Socialism is ONLY bad when a Democrat is in power
