Aid for film industry?
I never saw the stimulus package - but have heard it mentioned that the movie industry was one that might have received aid.

Sometimes I get a crazy idea only to find somebody already posted the same thought, but here goes anyway.

IF the movie industry receives aid, wouldn't those companies, conglomerates, etc., that receive federal aid be held to the same standards as the CEO's of the auto and bank industries - nobody makes over $500,000 annual salary a year? How would this go over with our top movie makers, producers, and stars?

2. It's not a bailout, just some tax incentives.
Which helps keep productions in the U.S. Which helps keep JOBS in the U.S. Which is kinda the whole point of a stimulus package no?
