Defense Contractor Layoffs: War Right Around the Corner!
[link to www.thefiscaltimes.com]

Lockheed Martin Corp., the Defense Department’s largest supplier, said this week that it may have to shut down at least 10 percent of its weapons production next year, forcing massive layoffs and wreaking havoc with suppliers who could miss out on hundreds of millions of dollars of business.
Boeing Co. says it has begun paring its workforce, consolidating manufacturing facilities and cutting overhead. The company’s defense division already shed about 8,000 of 60,000 jobs during the past 18 months.
General Dynamics says it fears substantial losses in its Information Science and Technology products division, especially if the government cuts corners or puts off purchasing Internet software and cyber protection programs, which now seems the case.


So, how long before we are in World War III so we can keep the machine running? War is good for business on all sides.

So, this is what a recovery looks like? Good job, Barry. You are the Last Dragon!

Don't get me wrong, I am nationalistic. I love the USA. And the Chinese and Russians are itching for a fight just as much as our MIC is.

Of course, everyone itching for war doesn't have to fight the damn thing.

Didn't Obama sign an executive order making it illegal for defense contractors to notify their employees of pending layoffs prior to the election ?

Racist asshole Republicans gave you the sequester. You can cut their grass once you all are laid off.
