And the Dems, did not start everglades jet or JetBlue, people want cheaper airfares and as long as there are people willing to work for less, you will have companies like that.
From JetBlus website:
JetBlue's Chief Executive Officer David Neeleman added: With the support of Senator Schumer, Congresswoman Slaughter, Secretary Slater and many others, we are bringing an end to the regimen of high fares.
JetBlue wishes to express its gratitude to the Secretary of Transportation and the Assistant Secretary of Transportation for granting this order. Further, JetBlue is grateful for the leadership and strong support offered by United States Senator Charles Schumer, as well as Senators Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Patrick Leahy, Jim Jeffords, Bob Graham and Connie Mack.
Of course, all our buddies could have demanded he provide union wages as a condition of support....
As for Valujet, Clintons transportation sec was warned, but wanted to keep the lowfare airline going (good for votes)
There were no Enrons, WorldComs or Adelphias when Clinton was President.
Were all those companies keeping perfect books up until the day GWB was inaugerated? How much did Terry McCauliff make on Global Crossings? The tech bubble that is killing us today is the direct result of Clintons economic policies. It was all those profits from overinflated stock that balanced the budget. You condemn those companies for bad bookeeping while the truth is Clintons Commerce dept LIED about this countries economic condition in 2000 (look it up, my response is based on facts not cliches')
