I’m not talking about voters holding a grudge against politicians or any political party.
I’m talking about the American people turning against the “bailed out” airline industry in the future. Whether that’s letting us get screwed by flags of convenience schemes, or wanting to control airline stock in exchange for the bailout I don’t know. But the backlash against the banking and auto bailouts the last time around should instruct us to steer clear of accepting bailouts.
