The USA should not be bearing the brunt of the cost to maintain and bail out these cruise lines. Of all the country flags that fly on these ships, have any of those countries stepped up to contribute? Not even asking if they've contributed as much as the USA wants to contribute. Just if they've done so at all.
You register most of your ships under some other countries' flags to avoid paying American taxes, then you should expect those other countries to bail you out.

I totally disagree.
Thanks for the perspective, Len. That is a large sum of money infused into our economy and affords many employment.
