Republicans Slam Reported Spirit Airlines Bailout: 'Not The Best Use Of Taxpayer Dollars'

Donald Trump

Prominent GOP lawmakers voiced concerns about a possible deal by the Trump administration. Some influential Republicans sounded the alarm on reports that the Trump administration was nearing a deal to bail out Spirit Airlines with up to $500 million in government financing. “If Spirit’s creditors or other potential investors don’t think they can run it profitably coming out of its second bankruptcy in under two years, I doubt the US Government can either. Not the best use of taxpayer dollars,”
