How many blue-collar people are employed by the private jet makers?

"Not that many. Private jets have a very high profit margin."

What does one have to do with the other?

CJ, > Umm, Tenchu, why not take a course in economics?

I have. That's why I can call BS on the media who is wondering out loud whether wasteful spending is a "stimulus."

That's what the "do something" mentality will get us. I'm not interested in the "nuance" between the CEO private jets and "bridges to nowhere," because we really can't afford either.

Not that many. Private jets have a very high profit margin. So the investors are the biggest beneficiaries.

Are you talking gross margins, net margins - or populist politics?
