Screw the airlines

I have heard all kinds of talk and read all many words concerning welfare and how we should "put them people to work." And they are working. Working part time, ill-paying jobs that pay less than the welfare they were on. Yay, the working poor have grown. So, with that in mind, why should we bail out the airlines? Do we need to be able to fly to Seattle, LA, Florida and New York? These chariots of the gods that left their contrails across the otherwise unblemished Michigan skies that I gazed upon as a youth, are they really necesarry? In northern Michigan, where I grew up, they caused superstition and fear and I spent my formative years as a member of the Iron Bird cult. Maybe these corporations should get a job that pays and doesn't cause fear in our barbaric northern tribes. Something like prostitution, advertising or hot dog vending.
