Who will get what? The $700 billion pile of bailout money is shrinking, and it's being spent in ways that weren't anticipated. - Boston Globe, 11/11/8



So, I'll be happy to a couple billion and distribute it to our ski industry.
I would earmark funds for

Magic - Snowmaking
Everywhere - $20 ski dorms
next?

subsidizing lift operations much like public transportation to drive down ticket prices would be pretty sweet

The total "bailout", including AIG new improved bailout is in excess of 2 trillion dollars. FDIC said several 100 banks might fail, but well over a 1000 are standing in line for Fed money. Current deficit prediction for next year is close to a trillion. Cheap gas and lotsa snow for the next 6 months is all the bailout I want.

I'd earmark money for more groomers at MRG. That mountain would be awesome with lots of corduroy. :smash:
