Manufacturing is ...OK Beau.....<BR/>You know what I do. Manufacturing is the catalyst that made this such a great country great. It is the greedy, short term thinking dimwits and sleeping government that is sending manufacturing work out of our country. The next time we need weapons for defense, who do we ask to build them...the Taliban? the North Koreans? Fear East countries in civil war? How about begging the Iranian government for help? It is to the guts and determination of the manufacturing generations before us that we owe our standard of living. Our country needs to say NO to the greedy few and bring back the pride of our Fathers' sweat and keep Living Wage jobs in America. I am proud to manufacture products that lead the world. If only the government would quit putting up roadblocks to those of us in the US and not overseas, we could provide more meaningful jobs for those that want them.<BR/>Getting off my soap box now.<BR/>Your Buddy in WoodvilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21084151.post-1165529670333774042006-12-07T17:14:00.000-05:002006-12-07T17:14:00.000-05:00Mick - All manufacturing is cyclical... ups and do...Mick - All manufacturing is cyclical... ups and downs...:)<BR/>Aerospace is so highly regulated that it certainly makes it even more trying/stressful to keep and maintain certifications.<BR/>Is that anything close to what you were trying to say?Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099808690177823190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21084151.post-1165468364453961022006-12-07T00:12:00.000-05:002006-12-07T00:12:00.000-05:00Jean ~ The aerospace part of it is a fickle as a.....Jean ~ The aerospace part of it is a fickle as a... oops... better not finish that... let me just say that it has it's ups and downs... hmmm... poor attempt at humor... ok... let me try again, uh... well... crap...
