They build the Gulfstreams in Savannah and Georgia already lost another contract (F-22). Not that I care, because the DOD said they didn't want any more F22s. Though if the F22s where made in say Michigan or another strong Union democratic state (like Washington) then it'd be hell to pay if they closed the F22 plant down.
As for the big deal. Well apparently only government officials need private jets to fly themselves around the country. Which I agree is understandable, but what makes them so much more important than a private individual who needs to fly around the country/world and manage multi-billion dollar companies?
