Is EADS a US company? Does the company reinvest its profit back into programs for US only aircraft?
This is my money they are spending (my tax $$$). I’d prefer in this economy that it stay home w/ Boeing...
BTW I apologize to anyone who has to work for a foreign country/company who look at the USA as little more than a giant wallet.
Plus or minus, half is spent here in the US. Engineering, engines, sub contractors....
OK, let me see if I have this straight.....EADS wins the competition fairly, builds a multi-million dollar assembly plant in Mobile, AL (which BTW is one of the 50 states contrary to what the congresscritters in WA state say), employs over 2,000 Alabama citizens, and pumps millions of dollars into the Alabama economy....this is a bad thing because?
60% of my family works for Boeing. They are a bunch of extremely overpaid union workers that make everything cost 5 times more then it should. Why is a person who draws lines on a computer paid 65.00 an hour with unlimited overtime and no reward for success. Or no punishment for lack of of success. I could find 4 people willing to do that same job for 17.00 an hour with great success bonuses.
These giant corporations have become worse then the fed-gov. They lobby and suck off the teet to our peril.
Tom Daschles wife was their top lobbiest. Big clue.
