 KSDK reported: Thousands of jobs could be in jeopardy at St. Louis' second largest employer: Boeing. The aerospace company announced the government's planned defense budget cutbacks will slow production of two locally-built planes and eliminate the jobs of the employees who make them. Michael Moran has helped build hundreds, if not thousands, of C-17 cargo planes. ...The bottom line is Boeing needs to get through to President Obama, Congress and Secretary Gates. If not, they stand to lose more than 5,000 jobs at Boeing in St. Louis, and 30,000 total local jobs, including suppliers. Boeing executives are reaching out to anyone who will listen. They're trying to get Congress to put the planes back in the budget. The Spectator reported today, "If somebody were deliberately trying to undermine the very fabric of these United States... he would do just about everything Barack Obama already has begun to do as president." |
