Will the companies that are going to profit from this money pay it back after they get established? Fair is fair, after all.

These funds do seem to be a reasonable investment which will no doubt pay dividends for the state. But the state would not need those dividends in the first place, if it was no collecting the money of private concerns to dole out for the benefit of other private concerns as it sees fit.

Surely the companies involved here--and all others--can manage their own money.
