It's socialism for the wealthy.

Okay, fair enough, I guess what I'm getting at is that I find it hard to call that socialism of any kind: it's just corrupt government via bribery (probably).
This comes down to the right in the US boiling "socialism" down to mean "the government gave you something", ie any sort of government based handout.

They of course omit this opinion when it's rich people getting government handouts
