Let me get this straight. The EU is going to slap us for cutting taxes? You must be kidding. I say lower taxes so more, let Europe turn into the Soviet Union, and in fifty years we'll see who has the better tax policy.

Does this mean they are going to eliminate subsidies to Airbus? The only reason Boeing is receiving a tax break is so they can compete with them.

Buckling on steel only emboldened the Eurocrats.

By now it's obvious that the EU wants a crisis.
The WTO thinks we should increase taxes while Germany and France take a pass on their new economic unity.
Airbus has and will always be a pampered and pumped up euro-project, recent organizational smoke and mirrors notwithstanding.
No matter how GWB backtracks, and he will, the crisis will come because the fast fading old world thinks it necessary.

It*s past time to tell the EU, UN and the WTO to kiss off. That bunch of jackasses running our government have gotten us into this mess. Just wait until we become dependent on these other countries because they make ALL of the supplies, etc that we need. We will be a third world country before they are done with us. We*ve got to stop them somehow!

Embargo the EU, and issue 'Letters of Marque' to 'Privateers and Freebooters'!
