What Willie posted contained an almost offhand reference to the state of Pennsylvania bailing out US Air.
Well, that's just how the press has been playing it down here; that the bailout of US Air by **Alabama** is just a normal, natural sidenote to daily business as usual.
But two states bailing out the same company for multiple-millions, with no story in either state mentioning that **other** states were also bailing out US Air??
And this isn't even the tiniest part of the **federal** bailout of the airlines. This is all local state money.
Makes ya wanna say hmmm...
Perhaps we might more aptly dub these outrageous maneuvers signs of the Neo-Political/Industrial Complex.
