LOBBYING SPEFICALLY FOR BAILOUTS WHICH YOU BROUGHT UP you derail my thread and forget what you are talking about geez
Seems like you're playing a game of technicalities. Obviously no one was known to lobby for bailouts when the bailouts weren't popularized as bailouts. Anyways, sorry for derailing thread.
Not a bad post. I don't think it is accurate to pretend most folks vilify businesses in general like conservatives and their kissing cousins the libertarians vilify government. However, I really like your mention of the Port of Houston. Without the massive government spending to widen the Ship Channel, Houston would have remained a back water and Beaumont or Galveston would have been the big cities. The crazed haters of government, whether conservatives or Ron Paulites from around the area don't have a clue about this.
thanks, yes i know they either don't know or have forgotten history. those who don't know it are doomed to repeat or in this instance, miss out on prosperity.
