We're selling or will be soon selling control of pieces of the nation's infrastructure to foreign companies, why stop there?
This is NOT the finest government money can buy.
What a load of xenophobic rubbish. I don't know what some people think the consequences of foreign ownership of ports and airports will be. These airlines will still have to employ americans at the airports and comply with US regulations on safety and border control, so I doubt they'll be able to smuggle in whole armies to take over america or whatever cr*p it is they think will happen.
Welcome to the free market....
O.K. The whole Dubai Ports World argument was a fantastic exercise in amazingly hysterical absurdist ignorance...but I'm gonna have to think about this one. ...At the least because those arguing against it are using the DPW thing as a reference, thereby casting doubt upon their representation of the issue.
If Corsi and the Union are against it, I'm for it.
Rubbish. I would certainly hope that policy is not driven by such carefully crafted delusions and specious reasoning.
Yep, can just see the ads in the middle east: "Notice to all terrorists. You want Americans at your mercy. Fly the friendly islamic-owned skies and eat the Americans for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
No one has proposed allowing foreign to totally control U.S. airlines. What is being proposed is either allowing them to buy up to 49% or actually exercise their voting rights under the current 25% ownership rule.
So does this mean that foreign companies could comply with US airline rules and regulations with hundreds of thousands fewer DEADWOOD, TICKET PRICE INFLATING, union jobs? Good.
