There is a steady stream of bad news coming from Detroit these days: GM announces 1600 more layoffs. Meanwhile, rival "cash-for-clunkers" proposals compete in Congress. ManufactureThis likes Rep. Sutton's bill.
Also in the news, computer spies broke into the Pentagon's costliest weapon program ever--the Joint Strike Fighter project. The hackers were apparently Chinese. That is just wrong. What else is wrong? Dumping goods on the U.S. market. United Steelworkers file a trade case against Chinese tire manufactures, stating that a four-year surge of unfairly imported tires for cars and trucks cost U.S. jobs. They hack into our most advanced weapons system and cause layoffs in the U.S. Remind us what’s so good about this “economic alliance?”
