Personally I see just about no justification for this or for other forms of corporate welfare. If you care more about liberty, free markets, and economic efficiency, well corporate welfare subverts them, if you care more about equality and/or dealing with poverty, well CW gives money to relatively wealthy people, not to the poor. I agree. If they can't make it, they can't make it. As far as I can see, if they don't take advantage of this opportunity to crush the unions they don't deserve to continue in business. Unions have had a time and place, but right now, they're just added bloat for these companies. The unions have said, "We're not giving up a damned thing" -- as long as they have that attitude, I don't think they ought get a penny.
