I mean at first glance, this doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy. But ignoring my initial reaction; I don't think this is any different from lobby groups keeping tabs on what congressmen say vs do.

Just this time it's the government tracking which companies are pro-government currently.

It's not nice, but this government is transactional at best.

While I choose not to play games; it's hard not to play when the other side is the government.

This does explain all the random gifts the government is getting.
