I think Kahuna's point is that the taxpayers should not be required to subsidize this industry. If they can pay their workers 500 dollars an hour and run a profitable company... great. It doesn't look like "business as usual" will work much longer. The taxpayers will surely revolt if asked to cough up much more.
