I don't think we're in dispute on the basic facts, electro v and iron city -and no-one here is complaining about gps. But what's wrong with us having our own? We may just need it in the unlikely event we decide at some point to shoot or bomb someone without george w bush telling us to.
We aren't even complaining at the billions of taxpayers $$ that have found their way into Boeing's pocket over the decades. That's not necessarily wrong -just be honest about it. If Airbus was getting tax bucks the same way YOU would describe it as state aid or subsidy.
