Reductio ad absurdum?

I don’t think so. Our country has been driven to a short-sighted ‘low cost at any price mentality’ without consideration of the longer term strategic ramifications. Need cheap labor, open the borders. Need cheap goods, buy from China. Now look at the mess we’re in — deterioration of manufacturing capability, high trade deficits, millions of illegals in our country. As yourself, if the French / Germans were to let an equivalent size contract, would they have bought Boeing planes instead of Airbus? I don’t think so.
