“There is a fundamental tension here,” Philip Rossetti, a resident senior fellow at the right-leaning R Street Institute, told Yahoo Finance. “You’re incentivizing these companies to try to get under this umbrella of governmental protection.”

“The problem is, if that company starts to become inefficient with its production, like if it has rising production costs, or neglecting investment that would improve productivity or reduce operating costs, the bearer of those costs and inefficiencies are going to be the public,” he added.
