Re the news that the CEO of United Airlines resigned amid a federal investigation of whether the airline "agreed to reinstate money-losing flights to the airport nearest the weekend home of the [Port Authority of New York and New Jersey]'s chairman, David Samson, in return for improvements the airline wanted at Newark Liberty International Airport, where it is the biggest carrier":
What a reminder that small government is more honest government! If the airport wasn't government controlled, there'd be no opportunity for government officials to provide favors in exchange for favors. Better than vigorous law enforcement policing corruption after the fact is a small government approach that minimizes the chances for corruption to happen in the first place.
