“You were given the authority to determine the terms. You’ve said it yourself,” Warren said at the end. “You’re putting out term sheets. And those term sheets do not require that a single corporation getting billions of dollars in taxpayer money retain one job.”

    Small businesses are still getting the shaft as well, as the majority of the money provided by Congress still is sitting in the treasury awaiting distribution.
    Still, it’s astounding how nobody in the entire administration wants to use their statutory authority, even while attempting to usurp novel, non-codified authority to abuse this and many other allied nations.

    I’m reminded of the Emperor’s New Clothes, save in this case, the Emperor doesn’t even have skin, it’s so phenomenally thin.
