What would the FTC do?

Break it up. So it won't be "too big".

Breaking up the company or allowing it to fail jeopardizes the US’s strategic interests.

Ah. So you see the problem with capitalism.

The government will dictate the changes the company needs to make

And what will happen if nothing changes? Another bailout?

It’s a double-edged sword. Boeing developed these aircraft. They’ve given the US the military advantage they’ve enjoyed since the Second World War.

Boeing developed the aircraft with taxpayer money, they build the aircraft with taxpayer money, and then they get a ton of money as profits from our taxpayer money, and lastly we bail them out with our taxpayer money.
