Free markets as between countries is a terrible idea. Americans simply can’t compete with Chinese in most areas.

Can one just draw a line between foreign and domestic? If the US goverment give billions of dollars todday to Lockheed Martian or Boeing to help complete against foreign airplane makers it is going to effect that ability of Americans to start new airplane companies in US to no?

As per the WTO, they do this already. And then both the US government and Boeing have the absolute gall to complain that Airbus also gets subsidies from European governments, or that Quebec invested into Bombardier and gave them loans.

You can just ban US companies from buying foreign made airplanes.
