Military hurting workers

BusinessRockford.com

Where is our congressman’s voice, condemning the sending of U.S. taxpayers' money and jobs overseas?

I object to the U.S. government allowing Boeing — a war profiteer — to build components for our military off shore. We are losing U.S. jobs, and the military is a funding source for the loss.

Matters are worse when we give a contract for airplanes to a foreign manufacturer, even though we call it a joint venture between Northrop Grumman and the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co.

In all the fancy talk of job loss, we pull a Ronald Reagan: smile when we are sticking it to U.S. workers.
