why do the neocons and the bush cabal hate the airlines? |
|
they have now effectively killed air travel.
even at $5 a gallon, I'll drive.

too expensive to travel
unless you're doing it on the government dime
(or a lobbyists' dime, which has become pretty much the same thing)

4. It is not only the airlines but the cruiselines. |

5. I guess I answered my own question |
|
make air travel onerous
more people drive
increased demand for gasoline means higher prices
higher prices means more profit and ever greater wealth for the executives.
