And, it’s “outrageous,” not “outrages.”

If all the facts that you have stated are true then I think this is outrages. This entire bailout business has gone too far. I think the general attitude amongst big corporations these days is “Hey, we have nothing to worry about becuase if we can’t generate revenue we can just ask the government.” And offcourse the governemnt just bends over and takes it. Its during economic times like these where only the strong survive. Only the companies that operate efficiently and produce superior goods at lower costs will be able to weather the storm. Companies that cannot compete need to go under to make way for more dynamic and aggressive companies. But with these shitty companies that keep getting bailed out we are keeping a bunch of mediocre companies in a highly competitive market. Joel is right, boycott the big three!
