    Yeah but a republican might. You have to understand that they’re ideologically opposed to the government having and using money. Even in places they demand government attempt to turn a profit like USPS and Amtrak (which I’m theoretically not opposed to them doing if they provide vital services at a good price and quality) it’s with the ultimate goal of spinning them off into private companies
