Ah, remember when the GOP used to cosplay as champions of the free market?
I'm glad to see they've finally retired that ill fitting costume...

"Republican Socialism: Trump Is Taking Federal Stakes in Private Companies"

"One danger of nationalism, Friedrich Hayek warned in 1960, was the "bridge it provides from conservatism to collectivism."

"Like a kid in a toy store with a nearly unlimited supply of someone else's money, Donald Trump is on a shopping spree the likes of which America has never seen.
Trump has now taken pieces of more than a dozen private companies. And it is all happening without even an attempt at getting congressional authorization."

"Even in light of the administration's other intrusions into the free market—hiking tariffs on nearly all imports, applying ideological conditions on media companies,
and the like—this has been a breathtaking turn of events. Trump and his top officials have signaled that they are only getting started. In August he told reporters "I want to try and get as much as I can."

"The Trump administration's pivot toward socialism did not come without warning. One particular moment stands out:
In an April interview with Time, Trump declared that America was akin to "a department store." He elaborated: "I meet with companies, and then I set a fair price."
"Trump has transformed the U.S. economy from a free market to a command economy, complete with the ability for Trump to manipulate the market and tip the scales in favor of his own investments,
preferences and friends or family."

"Today it’s Intel, U.S. Steel and MP Materials, tomorrow it could be any industry. Socialism is literally government control of the means of production.
When you see the people supporting the president just sort of saying 'this is good' I worry that the free market movement that was a big part of the Republican Party
is being diminished over time." ~Senator Rand Paul
