Tough times for the US federal budget.  Everybody knows that.  We’re “sequestering” spending right and left and talking about – talking about -raising taxes.

But for an amazingly big world of American businesses, all that is somebody else’s problem.  They’ve got special tax breaks – huge ones – written into law.  And as long as they keep feeding and stroking the right politicians, those monster tax breaks just keep coming.

Each has its rationale, or at least its backers.  But they add up to a big question.
This hour, On Point:  monster corporate tax breaks, and is this any way to run a country?
