A Compelling Argument
Yours is a well thought, well-written argument, Steve. The only difference between the failure of the litany of companies that have failed and been somehow replaced is their failure didn't happen during a short period of time when the national economy was already in an extremely fragile state. That's all that the politicians are talking about, I think. I really don't think the politicians are pandering for votes or contributions. I believe any plans they're considering for government involvement in any of these sick companies or industries have more to do with broader, longer-term damage to the economy that would result from their failure than trying to save any one company or group of employee-voters. I know that's certainly the reason I'm even continuing this discussion.
