Can't be having the government spending all our money!.
Oh? What's that? Lockheed Martin designed a new jet? We'll take 400 of them.
Yeah the government has a bit of a spending problem. You don't see companies blowing though money as they don't want to go bankrupt.
You absolutely do see companies blowing though money and going bankrupt. All the time. Companies are always failing.
True but they are no longer active companies if they go belly up.
i mean.... i don't want to sound patronizing, but please read SOMETHING. like anything at all. companies going bankrupt is literally part of the system. if someone wants to push a service or product and has enough resources, companies are set up to be bankrupt and lose money. this is how a big corporation can push competitors off the market: by selling a product under the cost of production. how often have we also seen companies going bankrupt SEVERAL times in their lifespan just to be bailed out?
