I can think of a lot of things currently happening with my tax dollars that I support less than this.

Also, bailout isn’t an accurate term. The government is about to destroy their industry through direct action. Bailout is when the company fails of its own accord and the government steps in. It would be like if the government started making free medical records software and bankrupted the existing companies.

Similarly, my country is trying to get rid of a coal industry, and they absolutely pay or promise a lot of money to the soon-to-be unemployed miners.
