Yes, but just fully nationalize most large corporations anyway
@939QXJ43yrs3Y
Yes, but only for a short amount of time
@8HXLL9XNew Democratic5yrs5Y
The government should stop bailing private companies
@8KLCJ9TNew Democratic4yrs4Y
The government should not bail out large, multinational corporations, and any corporation that is "too big to fail" should be broken up. If the government is bailing out a small business or mom & pop shop, it should not gain a stake.
@5ZJ2C984yrs4Y
The government should never bail out a business.
@2PFH3VC3yrs3Y
Companies receiving "bailouts" should be fully nationalized
@7PTCG383yrs3Y

@7PTCG383yrs3Y

No, any assistance should be in the form of a Federal government loan that is repaid with interest once the company is back on firm financial footing. Such assistance should only be done in special circumstances, such as a way of lessening the depth and length of a recession
@8RBQDDP4yrs4Y

@558YLXV5yrs5Y
Yes, but equity stakes should be returned to the company if/when the company pays back an agreed-upon amount of the bailout.
