Or will you admit that most captive rail shippers are indeed domestic producers? <br /> <br />Whether such results in an exodus of manufacturing, or if it simply results in a greater share of domestic production needing some form of government assistance (e.g. we the taxpayers) to stay afloat, the effect is reasonably inductive.
