From the article:
Considering the fragile state of the U.S. economy, I'm very surprised at things like this.
Considering the size of the contract, I wonder if it would be feasible for the U.S. to require EADS/Northrop to open facilities within the U.S. and manufacture those planes here using U.S. workers. That would solve a few of the issues such as keeping the money within the U.S. economy as well as negating any dependence on a foreign country for these things. |
Some of the EADS parts are to be producted in US John.
