with my mother being a phsycologist, i think that insurance agancies and airlines are in the same boat in that they shouldnt need gov't help to keep that $280million profit margin after taxes and paychecks. i think the airlines could stand to lose some budget weight, and get used to giving us good service and not overcharge. but you know, thats just my opinion which many free economists might disagree with.


but i think that the airlines do need to stay afloat one way or another. business will return, its something that the us cant live without and still keep our status as an economic bighitter. so after they lose all that excess money, yes, the gov't does need to step in and give them some support. its a social interest more than a constitutional thing. its the right thing to do.
