I lived in a Seattle suburb for a few years in the late 80’s and early 90’s. The Boeing people’s mantra was “Buy American!!!!” Of course, they were all driving Nissans and Toyotas and Subarus to Starbucks while they said that. “Buying American” only means one thing to those people; Boeing.

“Enough is enough. For too long, workers in Washington state have had to fight an uphill battle. Instead of competing just with Airbus, they’ve been forced to compete with the deep pockets of European governments that supply Airbus with illegal launch aid,” Sen. Patty Murray of Washington said in a statement.

Box of rocks Murray has a problem with socialism?

“....the World Trade Organization issued a final ruling that Airbus enjoyed unfair subsidies from European governments.”

Well, DUH! How long has it taken the WTO to come to this startling and timely decision? Seriously, this has been known for a couple of decades. Fortunately, most folks didn’t need to wait this long for an industrial group to make it “official”. I think that maybe one or two people in the industry were unaware of this, but that figure may be a little high.
