Should we nationalize the companies which run our terminals and ports?

Nope, we should make it affordable for American companies to run them. I'm thinking good ole conservative tax cuts. Big ones.

"...we should make it affordable for American companies to run them..."

Makes more sense than any statement that has been made in this argument. I have always wondered why it is profitable for the arabs to run a company, and not an American.

Now, there's an idea. You should send it to your Congressman. (seriously)

We'll need to make sure no "Clintonian exemptions" are made for foreign companies.

Well-connected, rich foreigners have a way of "working around" the laws. Like Clinton's friends at COSCO got an exemption even though they were a Chinese state-run company

The U.S. government agreed to exempt [state-owned] COSCO from laws discriminating against state-owned shipping companies.

What the hell are you talking about? Make it affordable? Maybe some reparations would do the trick?
