Would the Dems squeal if an Israeli company was handed the port deal?

Why don't we just give them the whole port, the land it sits on and the city that surround that? Why should we pay taxes to build infrastruture that profits a foreign company and a foreign nation. We might even want to just do a package deal and let them have the original 13 so long as they agree to take DC off our hands.

The real issue here is not who gets the port operation business.

The winning issue is why there are no American companies in this business!!

And what can we do to resurrect the American port industry.

Sometimes this kind of gut reaction is what can take the issue to the next level.

You didn't really ask that question did you?


I mean is your vision so restricted that it can't see that world trade involves foreign companies?

Get a grip.

The money you personally save at Walmart will more than offset the very minor portion of your taxes used. Don't forget that user fees are collected to supplement your meager offering.
