Mainecat Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Trust the commander of business fail? Ah FUCK NO 'I'll be the oversight': Trump vows he will personally oversee $500 billion coronavirus slush fund Source: RawStory At his daily coronavirus press briefing, President Donald Trump was asked to justify the provision in the Republican stimulus bill that would grant his administration an unrestricted $500 billion slush fund to be distributed to any corporation imaginable with zero oversight or transparency. His response was that he would be the entire oversight of the program. Daniel Dale ✔@ddale8 Asked about the proposed provision in the relief package to allow Treasury to dole out money to companies as it sees fit, Trump says: "Look, I'll be the oversight.

Answering the first question, Trump suggested that an extended economic shutdown would result in more “death” than the spread of a virus that in best-case estimates would kill tens of thousands of Americans. Answering the question of who would provide accountability for the unrestricted distribution of half-a-trillion dollars, Trump’s response was even less promising: “I’ll be the oversight.
