I've got nothing against private jets and helicopters (also known as "business aircraft," and "general aviation,"). I argued it was a cheap shot for Obama to claim there was some special tax break for corporate jets. But I don't like federal subsidies for them (or just about anything else), as I made clear in my column.

Today, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association wrote to object to my arguments.

As with Ex-Im's response to my column, I've got objections to GAMA's arguments, but I've had my say for today.
