the efficient airlines should be backed with loan guarantees and the others should be allowed to fail so the strong can pick up their assets...they dug their own hole as mentioned before with overspending... we are following the path of japan...the quicker we weed out the weak the quicker we hit bottom and start the new bull...instead it seems we have taken the path to drag this out for a while

Just heard that, among other types of assistance, Bush will have the gov't take liability for lawsuits against the airlines. This is really something. You know, when some criminal provokes a cop and gets more than he bargained for, the taxpayer has to make him into a lottery winner. But when a law-abiding, minding his own business citizen gets victimized, even killed by a criminal, what does he or she or their family get? If Bush want to pay out large sums of money in this case then perhaps all the other tens, hundreds of thousands of crime victims sould get rewarded too, especially considering that the gov't was very much responsible for cultivating all these criminals with its welfare and "Great Society" programs.
