Washington’s latest and boldest experiment in industrial policy is a renewed willingness to take equity stakes. Since January 2025, the U.S. government has announced investments worth $26.7 billion across thirty deals involving direct ownership, broadening a toolkit that has traditionally focused on grants, loans, and tax incentives. The Department of Commerce leads the way with seventeen announced deals, including taking a 10 percent stake in Intel. The Development Finance Corporation, the United States’ development bank, has pledged six equity transactions in critical minerals, energy, and infrastructure. The Department of Defense has disclosed seven deals, and the Department of Energy has participated in two.
CFR’s U.S. Government Deal Tracker is designed to shed light on the growing number of public investments into private companies. Drawing on open sources, the tracker presents information on deals announced since January 2025 that entail equity and quasi-equity stakes. It records key details for each deal, including the terms agreed to, the agencies and authorities involved, the participation of the private sector and foreign partners, and milestones for monitoring progress.

No, Baldy, YOU declared my surrender. I did nothing of the sort. You showed incredulity from the start towards my assertion. I provided a path for you to look it up on your own rather than believe me. You declined, lacking the stones to either verify or admit I was right.
Thanks but this is nothing but old news. While I was schooling Klam about the fundamental goal of the DSA to eradicate capitalism, he was strawmanning some nonsense about a Trump led Conk Commie takeover.UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2026 5:33 pmWould you two just get a room?

The list of companies that the federal government is taking a stake in (public ownership of the means of production isn't a step toward socialism) appears to be growing so I'm not sure how you dismiss it as "old news".Comrade Uberfuhrer Baldy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2026 3:18 pmThanks but this is nothing but old news.

He couldn't deliver the details so he quit.

Details were delivered as you know perfectly well. Maybe you’re just frustrated when MAGA tactics involving the New Red Scare get used against you.Baldy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2026 3:18 pmThanks but this is nothing but old news.
