"What is unique in the case of the Trump administration is the executive branch’s use of existing discretion...to extract firm-specific payments and profit rights, often without clear congressional authorization." https://t.co/D13AlcfGHr #CatoRFE @adamnmichel @CatoInstitute

The government's equity portfolio of 36 companies has a distressingly weak legal foundation, says Cato’s @scottlincicome. None of the cited laws expressly authorize federal ownership stakes in private companies. #CatoRFE https://t.co/qWz68qGyVk

Uncle Sam has 35 equity deals and no law expressly authorizing any of them. No clear way to undo them or to stop even more. To restore free enterprise and the rule of law, we must chart one, says Cato's @scottlincicome. #CatoRFE https://t.co/xOe5jYfRWY

Part of @CatoInstitute's new Restoring Free Enterprise project (@Cato_RFE) is to look at other countries' experiments with state-owned enterprises. Here, @johanknorberg examines Sweden's (sometimes comical) efforts - and its beneficial retreat. https://t.co/MFmg37lkuu #CatoRFE

The US government can meet strategic objectives without acquiring equity stakes in private companies. Broad market-based reforms should come first. Cato's Restoring Free Enterprise project charts the path forward. https://t.co/SCfvb6ZlwL #CatoRFE

When state corporatism displaces free markets, liberty suffers. Uncle Sam now holds stakes in 35 companies, and problems are materializing. That's why Cato launched the Restoring Free Enterprise project. @scottlincicome explains. https://t.co/B5sHfr6lYj #CatoRFE

The government's equity stakes in private companies raise major concerns. That's why we launched the Restoring Free Enterprise project — to examine the portfolio and chart a path toward getting Washington out of the boardroom. https://t.co/UPOvmxxdry #CatoRFE

According to the new @CatoInstitute Government Ownership Dashboard, the Trump admin has done 35 equity-stake deals since last June. Prior to that, US equity deals were unheard of in non-crisis times. You can dig into each one here: https://t.co/soq057DFTh #CatoRFE @Cato_RFE
