Why borrow from the street when there's the U.S. Government?

Mannkind is made in the U.S.A. Not to get political, but if it was good for keeping a motorcycle company alive, why not a breakthrough drug company?

that program was one time deal during 2008

At the risk of sounding cynical, remember that 2008 was an election year and Wisconsin was in play as a potential swing state (Harley-Davidson is headquartered in Milwaukee) and a lot of jobs were on the line. Maybe Mannkind needs to relocate its operations to a battleground state with lots of electoral votes!

MannKind doesn't have enough employees for a politician to kiss their ss.

Besides Super PACs are a more efficient method for buying politicians and acquiring citizens votes...and it's anonymous.
