BEGGING BOMBARDIER

Canadian government officials should make up their minds on a financial aid request by struggling aircraft maker Bombardier, the Quebec finance minister said.
More on Bombardier's history of begging: Early in his tenure, this M.P. went on one of those fact-finding trips that so annoy taxpayers.  One of the stops on this junket was the German office of Bombardier.
“So,” said the M.P., “why does Bombardier focus so much on selling to government?  Why not focus more on the private sector?” 
The reply was blunt, going something like this;  “Because governments are suckers.”
