Anyone Besides Me Getting Tired of Our Government Becoming 'Bail-Out' Central?

Just a question.

There were the automakers, banks, Fannie & Freddie, Intel, miners, and now Spirit Airlines? I have no desire to own an airline. When did it become okay for our tax dollars to be used for the government to take stakes in private companies? GM still owes us a ton.

Not only does this create unfair competition and market manipulation worse than typical, but it's a form of socialism that's getting out of control.

Ford was the only one who didn't take the bailout. Random fact, My F150 5.0 work truck has 307K and original motor and trans....

I’m not in favor of the bailout, however, if our ignorant political pissing match of a government funding shutdown played a role, well then.
