Delta Airlines?? What do they have to do with BOEING's financing of airplane sales to the world?
Well, "Delta Airlines is challenging this assumption, saying that Ex-Im fails to balance Boeing’s gain against the financial damage done to carriers like itself." Further: "Now here's George Will, in High-flying corporate welfare, (Note the lobbyist phrasing, pretending that Republicans are against "corporate welfare.") Will is complaining that Boeing, specifically, benefits from the Ex-Im Bank. Here is the most stunning statement in this piece: "There is an understandable urge to counter the subsidies that foreign governments give to companies competing with U.S. companies. The result, however, is an increasingly mercantilist world."
Got that? (George) Will says flat-out that America shouldn't defend itself from attacks on our economy!
