    Government gives money to tobacco industry: “What? They’re too big to fail.”

      I can honestly say that I don’t remember anyone claiming tobacco is too big to fail.

      Banks, auto industry, certain other farming segments yes…but tobacco seems like just special interest arguments.

        In this analogy tabacco is the pervayor of cancer. Likened to how banks make predatory student loans. When ever we have to bail out the banks or corporations we are told, “they are too big to fail.”

        As if an educated population is less important than the financial institutions that they uphold.
