    I'm waiting on some of our democratic left-leaning members to come in and explain why they would not support the bill

    And the wishlist of unrelated measures the R’pubs piled on the relief bill in complement to the D’rats’ bigger windmill subsidies, required “diversity training,” and forced labor union membership on corporate boards is...?

    So according to the Citizens United ruling which states that Corporations are Citizens shouldn't they as Citizens be limited to a $1200 slice of the bailout pie or conversely shouldn't we get an equal slice of their pie?

    Love or hate the airlines and the thought of a bailout----but the issue is not American or United or another---the real issue is to come out of this with a viable air service in tact. Try to imagine this country without air service---forget vacation travelers---I'm talking business travelers, air freight etc.

    One should look at all the BS added from both sides before taking swings at one or the other.
