At the end of the day, we do not want Airbus to go out of business...but they shouldn't ever get state $, let them live or die on their own.
But alas since States already own shares, there is no way they will be allowed to go out of business, therefore there is no real reason Airbus has to get its act together, and so on.
Thus argument is alien to me, as is the argument that we shouldn't wish for the dissolution of the Democratic party. There seems to be some sort of fear that to the victor will go all of the spoils and thereby no responsibility. I beg to differ.
I hope that the democrats cease to be and that the opposition party to the Republicans become something closer to our ideology, like a Conservative or Libertarian party. Similarly, I hope that a government funded Airbus ceases to exist and that a free market company takes its place as Boeing's competitor. One can dream can't he?
