I refer such arguments to the trio of private sector organizations I
previously posted, who very much do want to - and are building what they
need in order to do it. They aren't the only ones; they're just the
ones I know best. (And I think the stuff that each one is working on
is so much better than what the US government is using, that they could
compete even if said gov't keeps subsidizing Boeing and Lockheed. Of
course, that's "subsidizing", and not outright "ruling illegal all
competition to" - which the laws on the books don't do yet, but could.)
