"Build better and cheaper ships here" - palani, show me one Hawaii Shipyard capable of building a Commercial Container Ship.  After the Merchant Marine Acts of 1920 and 1936, all Plans to build the Shipyards at Hawaii were scraped and other States got the Federal Funding to build the Shipyards.

Admirable, The ONLY States that Benefit from the Merchant Marine Acts of 1920 and 1936 are (Ship Building and some Repairs) Louisiana, (Ship Building and Repairs) Virginia, (Main Port of Entry to U.S., Democrats Labor Union Dockworkers, Warehousemen's, Longshoremen's Unions.  Jobs that used to be at Hawaii) California Republic, as paid for by the Citizens living at "Paradise" since the U.S. Territory of Hawaii, U.S. Territory of Puerto Rico, and other "Paradises".   You want this to be "Fair", sure slap the "Paradise Tariffs" on the other 49 U.S. States and see what happens.
