Neilda,
Thanks for putting forward some sense -- why indeed should a business exist just to loose money. Companies cannot continue to exist unless the cash coming in exceeds the cash going out!! Perhaps they can in the Jeremy Corbin world, but not in the real one!!
I don't think anyone would seriously disagree with the principle, but it can be difficult to see the government's logic sometimes. Renewing Trident, for example, is seen as A Good Thing because:
1. It is a strategic asset for the UK
2. It costs 'only' £120bn
3. It would safeguard 6,000 jobs
but despite the fact that a healthy steel industry
1. Would also be a strategic asset for the UK
2. Would cost only £6 to £10bn
3. Would safeguard > 15,000 jobs
it's somehow undeserving of support?
Meanwhile, the banks managed to receive (according to the National Audit Office) over a
Thousand Billion pounds from the taxpayer - and they won't see all of it back, ever.
