Guess the Next Bailout
Published: December 18th, 2008
A quick look at things to come:
So, it’s not enough to bail out Wall Street financiers, holders of unsustainable mortgages, insurance companies, and automakers. Over at Phi Beta Cons, John Miller notes that universities now also want a bailout from the taxpayer. And of course, newspapers. And the possible library bailout. And big cities. And public schools. And the post office. And the casino industry. And farmers (though our farm policy is already a permanent rolling bailout). Am I missing anybody?
Abortion industry. You’re missing the abortion industry bailout.
People are asking where the line should be drawn in this bailout business. Casinos.
