Contact your members of congress to oppose any Cruise Industry bailouts.

Those ships are registered in foreign ports with terrible labor laws. Let them beg those nations for a handout.

1. Thank you!! And I don't care if the airline industries go belly up, too!

Let them quit gouging passengers, herding people into smaller and smaller seats, and giving their stock holders more and more $$. Fuck 'em.

Let them eat capitalism!

2. Good grief

I especially want the airlines to survive. Plus flying across country for 400 dollars is not gouging the customer. Now car trains are a rip off.

3. The ones that know how to manage their money will survive.

I don't believe tax dollars should be spent to support socialism for corporations.

5. The same could be said for everyone

Plus these airlines higher millions of people collectively. Where should they work? Remember a lot of restaurants and stores will definitely close down for good from this.

4. Okay

The biggest U.S. airlines spent 96% of free cash flow over the last decade to buy back shares of their own stock in order to boost executive bonuses and please wealthy investors.

Now, they expect taxpayers to bail them out to the tune of $50 billion. It's the same old story.

6. Well put in the bill they absolutely cannot do this

[BComplex]

7. Good luck with getting that through the senate.

Not a chance.

8. Hmmm. That's a shame then

Of course who know whose going to get anything. I’ve heard that only workers will get the thousand dollars. No seniors? That dumb. Everyone should get whoever amount is decided. I still think it should be 6,000 per person.
