Did you even bother to read this crap, johnny?
"“The underlying problem with the slush funds is we don’t know exactly where the money is going,” Ted Frank, director of The Competitive Enterprise Institute."-FOXnews
So you're upset about something they told you upfront they don't actually know about.
Right off you have allowed them to characterize the monies as a "slush fund" without any evidence.
"There is a recent effort by Republicans to eliminate the practice, which many believe was widely abused during the Obama administration."-FOXnews
They just admitted they have no evidence of abuse. But you're still parroting the "slush fund" characterization from FOXnews.
They only conveniently "believe" there is a problem. It's called "propaganda" johnny.
"“Advocates for big government and progressive power are using the Justice Department to extort money from corporations,” Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton told Fox News. “It’s a shakedown. It’s corrupt, pure and simple.”"-FOXnews
"Advocates for big government and progressive power"? Seriously, johnny? :lol:
No, it's the Justice Department, dummy, and it will continue under Trump until the law is changed. You really need to learn to recognize propaganda for what it is, johnny. They're dragging you around by the nose.
Incidentally, the law WON'T be changed under Republicans, so why are they bringing it up? Doesn't that make you wonder?
"When big banks are sued by the government for discrimination or mortgage abuse, they can settle the cases by donating to third-party non-victims. The settlements do not specify how these third-party groups could use the windfall.
Critics say banks are incentivized to donate the funds to non-profits rather than giving it to consumers."-FOXnews
So they just told you it ISN'T a "slush fund" and you've still got your panties in a wad before you actually know there has been any abuse. That's what propaganda does; it manipulates you for someone else's purposes. They aren't your friends, johnny.
So here's what we know: there isn't actually a "slush fund", the money goes from banks to non-profits, so the government can't use it as a "slush fund", the banks choose who the they give the money to, not the government, and no-one yet knows if there has been any abuse, so FOXnews pretending there has by publishing this non-story is just dishonest.
The only thing I can agree in the article is that the money should go to Treasury, on principle.
Stop being such a tool, johnny.
