I think taxpayer money shouldn't be secretly spent to support private company.

  secretly Thank you. We live in a democracy. We expect our governments to do things for us, and every four or five years we decide whether we like what they've done. That only works when they are transparent. If the US government wants to shill for Larry, fine, but tell us so we can decide whether they are "Going to bat for American business and jobs."

    "Going to bat for American business and jobs" is a bit of a lie since Oracle has roughly the same number of employees in both the Americas and the Asia Pacific regions and the number of employees in Europe, Middle East & Africa has been growing. The US government shouldn't be shilling for anyone, Oracle should do it for themselves.

      By “fine,” I mean, “Do it, but tell us and then be prepared to be judged in the next election.” I suspect we agree on how we would judge it if I were an American citizen entitled to vote on the Administration’s actions.
