I'm supposed to be finishing my paper but...

there are people on the radio railing on about how the French are going to overtake the American way of life. Actually they are mostly Boeing employees who are angry that the U.S. Air Force made a deal to buy Airbus planes rather than Boeing. Let's think about why this might have been, oh I don't know, maybe Airbus is CHEAPER?!?!? or maybe they have better quality for what the Air Force needs. I was truly embarrassed when some of these men started talking about how they were "so appalled" at how their country could be betraying them and the troops. I don't think these are the reasons that the Air Force didn't go with Boeing.... maybe they were looking at their bottom line for ONCE.
