I thought Star Wars was too wacky for the general public.

I think you got a cultural problem that [the airlines] just don't give a damn, and I really hate to say that because we ask the same questions and we get the same results every year since I've been in the United States Senate.

They're never going to be repaid. Adam Smith said that no government had ever repaid its debts and the same can be said of the private sector. The U.S. government does not intend to repay its trillion dollar debt to foreign central banks and, even if it did intend to, there's no way in which it could. Most of the corporations now are avoiding paying their pension fund debts and their health care debts.
