I have just read that Bombardier lost $4.9 billion and the Quebec government is "investing" $1 billion of tax-payer money into this failed company. How come when it comes to corporate welfare like this, it is called "investing," but when poor people need assistance they are demonized as "welfare queens"?

Found the longest name (perhaps in the world) of a real town called, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, in north west Wales. I used to think German was a difficult language with some ridiculously long words, but not anymore!
