If you’ve been paying attention to what hasn’t been in the news. A Federal Equity Stake. As that is essentially what the proposals boils down to. Regardless of the window dressing. Seems to be a reoccurring trend.
The Feds at Trumps direction have taken 10% stakes in Intel and at least 9 other resource and infrastructure companies. With indications they’d seek to acquire more stakes in more companies. Mostly Defense/Security related at the moment but that could easily expand. It probably would behoove us to at least for the moment. Throw traditional economic strategy and analysis out the window. Whether it’s Keynesian or Austrian School. As clearly something transcending Economic policy is going on in the background.
