Exact logic behind every guarantee the Fed makes. Including housing and student loans. In the end it is a subsidy. In the case of Boeing they could buy default insurance by why do that when the gov will give it to you for free.
Why dont we use that big ole government muscle to help collect on some other debts. Heck lets make all loans default free by having the force of the federal government back them.
Why help Boeing and not every other lender in the US?
You tried this crap logic the last time.
If it was cost free Boeing wouldnt be asking for it. Of course there is a cost to the US taxpayer. Where federal guaranteed mortgages cost free? Pensions? Student loans?
I added a shameless appeal to authority with my "Trump is for it" and Trump is smarter than you logic.
