Congratulations to the Boeing Company on landing the 767 Tanker contract. It was a grueling marathon process. You have to wonder why it had to be that tough.
I am a big fan of American workers and American companies building American Defense Department contracts. I am disappointed that the competition in our own country has been absorbed into just one company, but when we send our warriors into battle, I want to know their equipment was made by Americans.
I know that in this day and age it is hard to know what allegiance a company has to America, but if their business has been historically American I tend to think of them as American. The workers on the other hand, have never been in doubt. American Boeing workers are the crème de la crème of the aerospace industry. How could we consider allowing someone else to build a tanker that will be in service for decades?
So let’s hoist a few to celebrate and get to work.
Whether American Companies with American workers should be the only eligible bidders on Defense Contracts should be a topic for discussion at every level of government with the expectation that if everyone understands the security and economic implications for our country they would all get on board.
I have a hard time understanding how our government could consider allowing a major contract like this one to go to a foreign company even if they hire American workers.
If you are a Veteran, we give you extra points on the civil service exam for your service. If you are a Veteran, we have home loan programs that make buying a home very easy because of your service to our country.
In a competitive environment, I am in favor of giving a few extra points to American Companies and American Workers if the quality of the work does not suffer. I don’t care if that creates an uneven playing field. I am in favor of American made.
No Loss for Words
Congratulations on Selecting the Best Workers!
