A lot of our criticisms on this plan is that we have tried the 400 billion dollars plan and the promise never materialized. So naturally, we're a bit jaded toward corporations.
I agree that we need accountability and I suggested here that anytime we fund a company with public money, we should demand non-sell-able shares of that company (basically we never sell that shares and company will have to repay dividend to the public.) If we practically gave money to them that we would've own 50% or more of that company, that company should then be a utility since we literally paid tax money for it, it's a service at that point.
It's frustrating, because we are not only in an economic squeeze, we are also bleeding money left and right with money inflation going out of control.
