Boeing is cheating too. Ex-Im bank is a complete scam.

I wonder how Boeing would react to US airlines getting EXIM interest rates (courtesy of the EU) on Airbus products.

Hello,

It seems like this flew a little under the radar due to the elections.
One year after WTO allowed USA to tax Airbus, WTO is now allowing EU to tax Boeing in their dispute. It's all back to square 1

I believe this is called "even steven" in the legal community. The precedent was set in Goose vs Gander

It seems more like the US House and Senate “ethics” committees. “Ethics” in parentheses because the number of politicians who grow immensely wealthy well beyond any number that could be accounted for by their government pay is legion, yet totally ignored. But no, when someone has clearly been caught dead to rights taking a bribe, or making money off insider tips, or with a dead kid in bed with them or something so equally egregious and it simply can’t be ignored, they dredge up some evildoer from the other party (never any shortage of candidates) to hammer both simultaneously to keep things bipartisan. Wouldn’t want the suck... uh, voters that is, to ever realize the parties are simply tweedle-dum and tweedle-dumber.
