I see so Boeing does not develop on their own. Boeing only sells to government contracts. Only government buys aircraft. Who knew?
Boeing is a great example
How about that 747 they created on their own? The Government needed a heavy transport plane. Bigger than anything ever built. They decided to compete the bid and awarded two contracts for a flyoff....Boeing and Lockheed.
Lockheed built a plane called the C-5 and won the contract
Boeing built a design which lost but they turned into the 747
Tell us again how the Government does not create jobs
Where did the money come from that "government" uses to "create" jobs? You think spending my money is you "creating" something? Are you daft?
Government spending tax payer dollars is tax payers buying products. Boeing is a corporation that created the jobs, the people work for Boeing, they are Boeing employees. Selling products to customers are what pays the bills. The company and it's investors create the jobs. But without paying customers they have to fire their employees.
Where do roads, bridges, sewers, street lamps come from? Who pays the people who protect our forests, our food supplies, inspects planes and trains? Our military?
If it wasn't for inventors like Henry Ford, who successfully built and mass produced the model T, and private investors who supported him, there would be no reason for government to build roads, bridges, and infrastructure.
Without those inventors like Thomas Edison, there would be no demand for an integrated electrical grid system to be built... no need for those union electricians or the IBEW.
It's those who take creative risks with private investors behind their dream to invent and create, like the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, which opened the eyes into further possibilities for the advancements into flight ... who created those jobs. No the government didn't do that, so let's not go into that topic again.
