Well played, Sir!

Some of us on this forum forget hundreds of millions of dollars in aid (tax payers’ money) offered to the major airlines in the aftermath of 9/11. Funny, you won’t hear any of the pilots from those airlines objecting to financial bail out of such airlines!

Good touch on subsidized college loans and Pell Grants! A certain armed forces ‘bill’ comes to mind too.

Personally, if we can bail out private businesses (GM, Ford, Bank of America, etc.), for hundreds of billions of dollars; then I, as a taxpayer, have no issue helping those who got college education and skills. Not at all!
