Boeing has complained and outsourced and lobbied our government to compete in the "free market".
Our politicians have told us we have to enable the global economy while the best jobs have slowly drained away.
We voters have ourselves to blame.
I'm from the Northwest, and the Boeing fuel tanker loss will hurt our region, but they've practically demanded this world.
Ken Schram had part of it right.
There's an article on the Washington Post: "Boeing: One of the biggest corporate whiners in all of D.C." Well, there's a link to it from www.crosscut.com, but the link's not working for me.
Well done to all of us. Keep electing politicians who let corporations contract out jobs, and tell the government that they have to treat our allies as if they were Americans when it comes to contract awards.
