<<Perhaps the US Government should form a semi-private quasi government corporation to run such operations as they become available.>>

Yeah. Like the Post Office.

Why do foreign companies invest in the US? It's the best place in the world to locate capital. At least until Patsy's bond whores get another edge, and create another Clinton/Rubin deflationary disaster...

The issue is more a matter of price than it is operational capability. SSA Marine and other domestic operators certainly have the capability, but likely cannot compete price wise with nationalized firms backed by foreign government money.
