Its not so much of an argument as a concern. It puts an extreme amount of the country's economic activity directly in the hands of the government. We see globally that governments can quickly change their motivations.

The same rope that can be used to help people out of a hole can be used to tie them up.

Definitely a fair and valid concern, then; I suppose that will always be an inherent risk.
