Exactly. This isn't about the home team or American jobs, this is about soft fascism at its finest. Boeing is not going away, with or without government welfare for foreign airlines using our own petro dollars to threaten us to subsidize them as they try and yank an entire industry out from under us.
Boeing is nads deep in the extremely bloated global police state "defense" industry as well. They aren't going anywhere. They aren't just too big to fail, they're too big to flush.
As for Ford/Chevy vs Honda/Toyota, which is more "American", a Ford made largely in Mexico, a Chevy made in Canada, or a Honda made in Indiana or a Toyota made in Kentucky?
Boeing is outsourcing tons of jobs to foreign countries, and Airbus is opening plants in the US.
Yet the shieks keep bribing us with our own money and we keep falling for it.
Its far beyond time to close the "Bank of Boeing".
