This is a fun talking point, but the reality is more complex. The fact that jobs and multi-state payouts are leveraged to ensure programs have political staying power does not mean that the whole shebang is just a corporate / political handout.

It just seems to be what people say when these programs fail, but I don't hear this said about programs that have succeeded.
