"Gov. Ed Rendell's idea that the state be given a board seat at US Airways in return for a mega-million-dollar package of financial concessions."

Funny, but Alabama asked for the same thing.

What is up with Alabama and Pennsylvania using state funds to bail out US Air?

There is a story in there somewhere, and the media isn't airing it.

No doubt there is a big-money Democratic Party donor at the root of this US Air bailout.

Unregulated capitalism is not a good thing. It took a Republican President, Teddy Roosevelt, to rein in the monopolies who had become too powerful.

But too much regulation does become fascism, and we are seeing it here more and more.

I'm sure that there has been a lot of friendly donations in the past from US Air to certain Rat politicians.

This is an incredible story that isn't being covered.

Maria Motormouth on CNBC instead of being worried about GW's reduction of taxes on dividends should investigate this story.
