Sounds to me like Oshkosh got the deal. They make a pretty robust product.

Definitely not good. Jobs from a red state going to a blue state. Is somebody trying to stick-it to Texas?

One has to ask the question.....What’s the ties with the Wisconsin company and Obama? Is he punishing Texas companies because they don’t back his policies?

I don’t know, but it’s safe to consider the politics of anything these days.

In the overall scheme of things, I think it's just a ploy to get more illegal immigrants to migrate further north for the jobs.

How did you boys vote during the ‘08 election? You will learn not to screw with a Marxist!

From the
Statesman:
British-owned BAE Systems, which operates the Sealy truck manufacturing plant, had appealed after the Army initially awarded the contract to the Wisconsin firm last August to build 23,300 trucks and trailers for $3 billion over the next five years. BAE Systems had sought $3.4 billion for the work.
Oskosh Corp. is US owned, and we save $400 million in taxpayer dollars.

Damn him, we would pass by this plant making our way to Georgia (Ft. Benning) to visit our son and soldiers and always took pride in this plant. We’ll find a way...

Obama has done little for CA cuz he already owned their votes.
He’s punishing TX cuz they didn’t support him with their votes.
