The flip side of that is that conservatives seem to think the same of corporations. Give them tax cuts, subsidies, build them stadiums if they're a sports team - basically a Carte Blanche to the treasury. These days it's in the name of being "job creators" but it doesn't matter if they actually create the jobs.

This is the basic problem with our government. The treasury is regarded as a honeypot for the legislooter's constituents.
