>Not spending on A means more is left over to spend on B, C, D, That's not how economies work. The people who work at Boeing take home money and spend it in the local economy. That effect happens several times for each dollar taken home. Same thing happens for Boeing suppliers, they pay their people and those people spend in to the economy with a multiplier effect. This, spending money earned by workers, is how the engine of the economy is fueled when it is healthy. Who do you think is going to be paid the dollars that Boeing workers are spending now, if they shut down?
