  1. Well, I’m not so sure.
    = = = = =
    If the United States Congress does the right thing and ends this taxpayer-funded loan guarantee / subsidy program, the free-market will correct itself and Americans can fly on American-made planes. In other words, if Ex-Im is nixed, it won’t kill Boeing’s demand as folks like Secretary Taylor claim. Instead, it will reallocate that demand based on free-market forces, and we will see more Boeing 787s flying the domestic skys.
    = = = = =
    Several issues…..
    Is American DEMAND up to Foreign demand? …. The result of killing Foreign sales does not automatically balance to US sales in my book.
    IF the World were “fair”, this argument might work.
    But if we shut down EX-IM, France, etc will keep their incentives to the total detriment of Boeing sales. Then there will be more 320s, etc worldwide and fewer Boeings.
    Call it any name you want…. US Taxes overall HURT sales…. and even if they didn’t, we can’t make France, China, etc play the way we want.

    WE HAVE TO COMPETE… AGAINST CRUMMY RULES WETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT.

    IT AIN’T THAT EASY,
    EH?
