If the industry is willing to accept a government handout (and it has

The Golden Goose is going to be placed on a strict diet whether he
likes it or not.

If for no other reason because the consumers cannot not feed it any
more.

Can you blame them?

I am sure a conservative will.

============================================

There is no politician so much a fool that he'll kill off the financial
markets. There are plenty of liberal voters who would do so, but, when they
find that they can't buy anything but tortillas and beans, and that they
can't get a job, they'll point to somebody else as the cause of their
problems.

This whole economy is a mobile, TMT. Watch what you shake.

Sure email me, and I'll tell you where to mail the check

It's a nice country. If you would open your eyes you would see more
good than bad. OTOH, everyone here knows that is impossible, because
all you do is start off topic threads to stir up trouble.
