I heard on our afternoon radio show GE is continuing development with their own money.
That is in GE’s statement on the subject. But not sure what all that will entail. How do you work an engine program without DoD support? There needs to be some Congressional direction.
They may have traction though with non-Gates folks in the government.
So, maybe they will make Gates simmer down until Congress decides the engine’s fate.
GE’s money? LOL! TARP money more like it. GE begged Obama to have the US Treasury to backstop GE’s (worthless) debt over a year ago. GE is very pro-Obama and anti-Republican. Years and years of NBC, CNBC, MSNBC and their crap. Screw GE.
If you truly believe GE isn’t burying this cost I have some oceanfront property in Detroit to sell you.
