This isn't surprising. It's how (corrupt) politics works. Lobby for influence and get money and contracts from the government. You don't see anyone trying to help small businesses right now. All the "stimulus" is going to big corporations. There is an agenda if you take a time to look. All of us should be taking note of who benefits from any new government programs and bailouts. Look for the connections. They are there if you dig just under the surface. It happened under Bush and it's happening under Obama.

I don't want to turn this political and this probably belongs in the "off-topic" section.

Forgive me I posted it in the wrong section. I didn't mean to have a discussion about politics. I wanted to just get the article out there.
