The Obama administration works closely with a few major corporations to the exclusion of other corporations.
The Obama Administration continues to blaze new paths to corporatism (the cozy alliance of government with a few big businesses
in each industry to the exclusion of smaller players). Last month, it was the Obamacare two-step, in which government so screws up a new policy that it has to throw itself on the mercy of the industry it is trying to control–in this case the insurance industry, called in to save the exchanges. Obama owes them now–both for technical help with the website and for not jumping ship as expected customers fail to materialize and HHS shifts deadlines and makes other crude fixes on the fly.
