#5  ...the man who said "you didn't build that" failed to explain where the government got its money to do anything.

#4  I think O did give a f-ck about free enterprise: he hated it.

#3  People on the left don't get it at all... Boeing employs 140,000 people with blue collar and higher jobs. They have hundreds of thousands of vendors that provide all the parts, thus touching millions of peoples income directly. Then you look at Boeing stock, its doing well, as it should. EVERY 401k in America has Boeing stock in it. Every single American that has a 401K is touched by this deal. Trump understanding this and helping has probably put more money in the American tax payers pockets than anything else he has done, or any other president in the last 15 years as well.

#1  That's a huge difference between Obama and Trump. Obama clearly did not give a flying fuck about free enterprise, whereas Trump knows it's the way back to national prosperity.

My second thought on this - the article states a $14 billion deal and 70K jobs created (I'm taking that second number with a huge grain of salt) and no mention on the number of planes to be delivered, but what still astounds me to this day - the two new Air Force Ones waiting in the wings, where Trump talked Boeing down $1 billion on the eventual price tag with essentially a single tweet and an hour long phone call.

Third thought - too bad nobody's concerned with the annual deficit - didn't we just ring up another $660 billion last fiscal year?
