a concern, but I’ve heard plenty of flack for “grants” — whether loans, bailouts, whatever — to corporations without any benefit to US.

Again, trump is a piece of chit and is screwing decent Americans, but I’d cheer a Democrat who says we’ll help you (ie, corporations) when help needed, but you need to do more than just take the money/grant.
