What I do not understand is why we need Communist China scanning our ships. IT really does sound like having the fox guard the henhouse. Also, has America fallen so far with taxes, regulations, and just plain government bureaucracies that we have no American Company to do this? Who is looking our for American Jobs? Dell just reported that it will be hiring 3,000 employees IN INDIA. In the USA all we here are layoffs, jobs going overseas, and now who we are selling off security issues to our enemies. Why are these contract NO BID? It sounds as though we have a “Godfather” in the Whitehouse, giving away American gems for his own enrichment. Can’t we get good negotiators who will help us and not worry about their next job with those they are negotiating with?
Both President Bush and the US Congress are selling out the American people, repenting foreign interests, and I am not reading or hearing these stories in so called mainstream news.
First it is not communist china scanning, its the largest port operator in the world and is a Hong Cong company. Second who is suppose to bid. Hutchinson owns 50% of that port. The cargo shipping 50%. The US contracted a service. There is no one else that can perform that service in Hutchinson's port. Dell opened a plant in India because the market for both India and China are 4 times larger than the US market and sales in the US are restricted by the size of the US market. If we made them here and tried to ship them how would we do it. 50% of the leased terminals in India's largest port is to DPW. Congress has just said they cannot do business in the US. Business just said we will build the plant there. The US stockholders that own Dell are happy.
