Not agreeing nor disagreeing.

Should Hyatt get money?
How about Royal Caribbean?
How about MGM?
How about the company you work for?
How about shuttered random small business in NYC?
How about my son the bug expert in Florida?
How about you?

In general I totally agree with you that the government should not prop up failing businesses, but even I see how this is an acceptable exception.
Should the new loans be used to pay bonuses to management, who have for years made the decisions that have put Boeing in this position?

As I posted above, they have bought back shares with borrowed money, now they don't have any. The share buybacks are what determined the increased bonuses for upper management, who made the decisions to borrow money to buyback shares to drive the price up, which influenced their bonuses.
