The one line I will take issue with is the comment on Boeing. The hottest selling aircraft in the world, the single aisle 737 is largely built from US parts. It may not be all Boeing parts, but the overwhelming majority of the airplane is from the U.S. manufacturers. Less so on the larger twin aisle aircraft with large section of fuselages shipped from Japan. But still even with the numerous over seas suppliers, a hit on Boeing is a huge hit on the economy. Many thousands of Americans draw a Boeing paycheck, and many thousands more Americans draw a paycheck from their company because of Boeing.

And Boeing is still the #1 exporter of of finished goods in the country. The money from those sales come back to the U.S.
