Re: Completely understandable

Both obviously, because both do so. The funny thing is that taxpayers can either spend the money on their own infrastructure, or they can spend the money propping up some investors portfolio.

My bad.

Both do quite well (financially) when getting taxpayer money. We see the same examples when taxpayers build stadiums for professional sports teams and such.

And that's why it is always wrong, and it is always the fault of the government when these things are allowed to happen.
