any company that says "we will fail without govt handout $" should NOT bitch when the govt attaches some conditions to the FREE MONEY.
if you don't like govt involvement, then you don't have to take the free cash. The moment you abandon the tenets of capitalism and walk into Congress with your hat out, then yes, the govt suddenly gets some say in how you manage that money. Cause without it - there's nothing to stop you from just splitting the free $ up between the top execs and coming back in a month complaining you're still broke.
