Capital expenditure (CapEx) in 2026 is projected to hit a record-shattering $725 billion, a 77% increase over 2025 levels.

Donald Trump has suggested a corporate bailout for bankrupt Spirit airlines. Remember, this is the same Donald Trump who withdrew Federal subsidies for the American healthcare in the Affordable Care Act. The same Donald Trump who bailed out Argentina.

Donald Trump doesn't care about average Americans. Never has. Never will.


Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren is taking heat over Spirit Airlines shutting down after she helped block a Spirit and JetBlue merger.

Well, JetBlue acquired Spirit in 2022, but Biden's DOJ blocked it. Clearly, that was a poor decision.
