Perhaps Linda Daschle’s
Position Explains the Bailouts
"American and Northwest Airlines and others have received federal tax subsidies
as a result of the September 11th atrocities. Boeing received what Senator Phil
Gramm recently called the most outrageous, largest example of pork spending he's
ever seen in his entire Senate career. In essence, the federal government is
going to enter into long-term leases for Boeing airplanes at above market prices
rather than buying the planes outright at much cheaper bulk prices. According to
the office of the secretary of the Senate, these three companies - American
Airlines, Northwest Airlines, and Boeing - are represented by LINDA Daschle. She
is a lobbyist. She is the
wife of (Senate Majority Leader) Tom Daschle."
