I respectfully disagree with your comment about Boeing military subsidies. It's true, boeing receives military funds, but they produce amazing weapons.

Imagine an airplane with an onboard high energy chemical laser that can shoot down missiles over their own launch territory. With help from Boeing, the US is fast making it a reality.
In the future when Saddam Hussein threatens to fire off a Scud missile loaded with a biological warhead, he can consider the possibility of a BOEING 747 sending that payload straight back to Baghdad.
It's not a subsidy, friend. It's a fabulous company that is paid for their work.
