Several big companies - Boeing in particular - rely on the Import Export Bank -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 16:32 6
- Also, free speech be damned. Allowing the Association of General Contractors to make political contributions is asking for trouble. -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 16:36 1
  - At least they're smaller businesses. If the big companies are allowed to do it, then you can't stop any other business from doing it. -- nm - the liioulu with Mar 28, 16:38
- They can survive in the Free Market. -- nm - the liioulu with Mar 28, 16:33 3
  - A lot of Boeing customers can't get financing. A Vietnamese airline, for example, won't be able to order $5 billion of aircraft because they don't - Roger More Mar 28, 16:52 2
    - BTW I meant that sarcastically. - the liioulu with Mar 28, 17:02
