So allowing the government to select certain companies to get rich off of government money... There's a word for that ideology, I forget what it is.

If government programs are socialism, what is it called when the government selects certain companies to provide those services?

I understand it is a difficult concept for some people to understand. The government does not select who receives the money. The parents make the selection based off the needs of the family. I liken it to food stamps-the government is providing the money, but the consumer is the one choosing where the money is spent.
