So, as I asked previously, how come the Shuttle got built?


You're arguing that the space shuttle is a commercial airliner?


No.

The answer to your question is it got built with monies the government
budgeted for the space program.

and paid to contractors at over inflated prices like much of the US
governments spending in these areas. The $400 wrench is as much a subsidy as
anything else is. With the politicians funded out of these compnay profits,
you would have to either naive or stupid to believe that the government does
not reward the people who fund their election with fat juicy contracts.

Boeings civil business for example is being subsidised by the military
contracts. Lose the contracts you lose the jobs. You lose the jobs, you lose
the votes. You lose the votes you lose office. You lose office, you lose
the power. You lose the power then you are a regular citizen being shafted
by those it power. And its a bum deal.

Fat deals $500 wrenches (aint inflation a bitch) and whey, let the good
times roll.
