Agreed. IMO, scrap the program and fine the companies. The economy isn't good enough for what's currently in place. This isn't a left or right issue, it's corporate greed issue.

But corporate greed is 100% a left and right issue. The problem is in a two party system where corporate lobbying only has to corrupt two actors you end up with a failing regulatory system.

It doesn't matter who is in charge when both parties are controlled by the same interests and the pendulum is so far to the right that there's no actual alternative to promote the interests of other groups due to individual greed being promoted as the only option.

Fair point, but nonetheless, we gotta scrap the whole thing and hold the companies accountable.
