Let's say the Corp of Engineers were to build a dam somewhere and
create a new lake and went looking for hotels to be built around the
new lake. Would that be welfare?

How is that any different from any other form of corporate welfare?

Have Americans become such whores?


You can define corporate welfare in a lot of different ways.

Yes.

If a government entity decides that having more people stay in hotels in
their location will be of benefit then there are only so many things they
can do to get more people to open and run hotels.

That's one form.


Now you can argue that it isn't the governments job to promote tourism,
help create jobs, ect... but in the real world they do and if one city or
state is doing it the others have to do it to compete.

So, your answer to my second question is "yes"?
