Bailouts

Glendale, AZ, Us

"personally id go for all of them as they all employ people who need the help"

Why not go direct to bailing out the people. Let free-market-capitalism deal with the businesses. That is, they go bankrupt, their assets are sold off, the money goes to the bond holders, and the share-holders get whatever is left? Aren't we a capitalist country, and isn't that the capitalist way? Why suddenly everyone in favor of saving businesses because they create jobs, when no one was worried about how much those jobs paid or what benefits the workers got?

Suddenly it's all about the workers... BULLSHIT. Bailout is all about preserving the wealth of the stockholders.

As MLK said: This country has socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor.

"either no industry gets help or they all do."

This is why it needs to be a freeze on debt and real estate rents. Everyone American and American based corporation with debt and/or rent payments due gets help. Oh... those companies that did inversions to become not-American so as to avoid US corporate taxes on foreign generated profits... ask whatever country you moved to for your bailout.

To be clear. I'm not a big supporter of any bailouts but if their gonna happen I'd rather see the govt help American companies.

I mean what the hell. We gave the Ukraine a pile of cash that really didn't help us one bit.

Well if that is true and they don't pay taxes and aren't really an American company then absolutely no bail out. Let them beg their own country.

You guys thing USA has bttomless pot of gold eh? We have over a trillion in debt, we lost trillions from the stock market.. Who is going to pay this shit or you fiscal conservatives dont care anymore. Why would you bailout cruise ships providing they dont sail under american flag but Panama, Malta or Bahamas so they dont pay taxes and dont hire americans. But by all means here is bags of money that our kids will pay. O wait.. They cant since they have college debt. Apple lost trilion why give them money.. They still use China to manufacture.

So we got $500 billion for corporations and $75B for hospitals. Should we bailout the cruise ships, they just asked?
