I had an arsehole transplant but the arsehole rejected me, which is why I write such rubbish

Hey Guys;
Let me clarify something here first. Out of the $15 billion, $11 billion is in loans which are repayable.
Having said that, the US is still $4 billion in arrears. What would Europe and the rest of the world want us to do? Get rid of these airlines eliminating much needed jobs which I see is a prevalent factor on this board, or try and jump-start the airlines back to profitablity?
Let's face it folks, we've seen Swiss Air, Air Italia, British Airways, BMI etc just to name a few who have dismissed pilots, flight attendants, ground crew and many others because their respective governments wouldn't step up to the plate.
While I don't support the U.S govt. involvement on this, I totally understand why they are doing it...and that is to preserve the livelyhoods of all the people in the U.S aviation industry. What is so wrong with that?
