I read a twitter post from a newsie that Mark Meadows has been running his butt off today between different offices trying to work out the deal. I think what will happen is there will be language in there to make sure the corporations behave themselves and help the employees instead of doing stock buy backs and giving themselves bonuses as they’ve been known to do. Might have been repubs(Trump’s) plan to begin with. Instead of allowing pork, “compromise” in this way.
Airlines are critical to our infrastructure, they should not be doing buybacks, or anything that puts them in jeopardy when something like this happens, and we wind up on the hook for them.
The President spoke about stock buybacks yesterday. To the public. And he was very clear.
“... I mean, I don’t like them buying back stock. I like them spending money on airplanes and on their employees and their real business, not buying back stock. And I don’t know if that provision is going to be put in one way or the other, but I’m all for it. And many Republicans, I can tell you, are for it and I think many Democrats are for it. But they were putting that out like it was a problem last night. It’s not a problem for me, I can tell you that.”
Any CEO that goes against the President on this issue would be a fool.
