There will be no incentive for those same evil banks to give you or me a loan to buy those cars, and as a result there will be no need for those auto companies to keep those same people employed, and THOSE people are the ones that buy airline tickets. Cabotage is OBE now...
Doomsday scenario?
Maybe, but when socialism strangled the Soviet Union, the workers figured that making one big nail was easier than making a thousand of the correct sized ones. Then.... they went bankrupt.
I want to figure out how to get MY share of that free stuff now....
There were two opportunities to get the "free" cheese.
Tarp 1 provided money to bailout construction companies with leveraged house inventory...I coulda encumbered all my inventory and gotten bailed, but I chose to play by the rules.
Tarp 1+2 provided "grant cheese" to green companies - established and startup...Yes that's right, you could write a business plan to produce solar panels and they would have given you money to launch your super dream green company. This was also further incentivised by giving state governments money to "grant" to green companies in their states...So, in the great central planning office in DC, specific states were chosen to be green industry states and if you wanted to be a CEO, all you had to do was write it up and send it in. Yippee frikken skippee.
