Crony Corporatism at it's worst. That is why I support Trump...he does not need donations from Lobbyists.

Boeing and GE are two of the most corrupt.
GE has been selling the nation down the river for a long time.

Lenin said (paraphrasing): “Capitalists will sell us the rope we use to hang them.” Lenin was correct about the corrupt “captains of industry”.

Never liked GE. Boeing needs the cheap financing capital (tax payer guaranteed) to compete with Airbus.
But I like Trump’s method better. If Airbus has access to government financing, we should level the playing field by charging tariffs on Airbus planes sold to US airlines. That way the cost is shifted away from US tax payers.

No one has argued more strongly against the Ex-Im Bank than Ted Cruz.
To: SeaHawkFan
Cruz opposed it not only strongly, but also eloquently.

I'd say donate to Trump, but he doesn't need it.

I’ll never forget Boeing’s dirty dealings for the military tankers a few years ago. Most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen.
GE stands to gain substantially from all the global warming BS. No one wants carbon credits more than GE.

Asked my brother in law, who is a financial analyst at Boeing, what is the deal with the ex-im bank. He said that these funds are for financing Boeing customers from smaller airlines/countries who if faced with the normal interest rates wouldn’t be able to buy the planes at all due to the cost + interest. So the result is the low interest loans enable the sale of jets - thus creating the jobs, etc. to produce them.
FYI

They had to do this because if the EX-IM fails, they won’t have any money for donations.
