Socialism isn’t coming to America—it’s already here, dressed in a tailored suit and collecting a $30 million paycheck. In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, we take a hard look at how corporate giants like General Motors are bending the knee to whichever political wind is blowing—left, right, or upside down.
Mary Barra plays the DC game like a pro, flipping from Trump’s tariffs to Biden’s EV mandates and back again, all while pocketing billions in subsidies and government favors. Is this capitalism? Or is it state-controlled cronyism wrapped in red tape?
We connect the dots between appeasement economics, taxpayer-funded bailouts, and the revolving door of political power that’s dictating how American businesses run. From tariffs to tax credits, climate goals to corporate virtue signals—this is the true cost of letting Washington call the plays.
Because when CEOs take orders from politicians, we’re not in a free market anymore. We’re in something else entirely. Tune in. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
