know what they are talking about....
When a private sector bank does something wrong or appears to do something wrong then there are 300 comments and people with burning torches and pitchforks.
When government does something wrong it is crickets.
Government is much bigger than any of these private companies so their impact is much greater and should receive much more scrutiny and by extension it will also clean up a lot of the private sector issues. That is the sheriff cannot be hanging out at the brothel on the backside of town and then walking on mainstreet and arresting hookers.
