Why should big corporations be allowed to think that they can depend on the government to bail them out of natural disasters when the Amerian people clearly cannot depend on the government for anything?
BostonHerald.com - Opinion & Letters: Memo to Bush: Veto this porker:
"The Senate's offer of up to a $500 million loan to the nation's third-largest defense contractor is just the latest smelly pork addition to a very bad bill. This unneeded favor is one more reason for President Bush to issue his first veto of what was supposed to be an emergency spending bill to fund military efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and hurricane relief.
The contractor, Northrop Grumman Corp., operates shipyards in Mississippi and Louisiana that were damaged by Hurricane Katrina. They are back at work on Navy contracts and the company is in court with its insurer over how much more, if any, it is owed for repair costs. "
