[quote=flu]Speaking of Trump… I was chuckling at his comment when he saw the pricetag for Air Force One…
“Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!”
Lol…
Ah yes…That pretty much sums up the conudrum of products for american consumers….
1. Either the american product is going to be more expensive (sometimes considerably more) and alienate some potential customers, no matter how patriotic they claim they are
or
2. The product from the american company is not going to be completely made in america
or
3. The product from the american company is not going to be completely made with american labor
or
4. The product made in america sold at a cheap cost will need a government subsidy
or
5. The company that made the product in america with american labor, sold at a cheap cost, without a government subsidy, will go out of business.[/quote]
