"Today, Senator Joesph Hanson announced that the United States would not be able to meet its deadline of pulling out of businesses by the year 2030. Senator Hanson commented, 'These programs have done a lot of good for people, but aren't stable yet. We've seen improvements in the lives of Americans, but the programs aren't strong enough to stand on their own. We're extending the program duration and allocating additional funding with the intention to exit by 2035.' The USA-FUND-LIFE program was conceived in 2010 to stimulate industry and $300 trillion has been spent on it so far. This is the third extension of government funding for the FUND-LIFE program which was originally set to expire in 2020."
- roundsquare 17y agoGood point. The government is horrible at getting out of the business of... business. Its possible to get around this with come kind of scheme where ownership is given away over a period of years... 10% each year for 10 years maybe. I wonder if having a rigorous schedule, instead of just a goal, will help.
