I won’t hold my breath, but what we need is more captains of industry coming right out and saying: “We had planned a massive development which would have generated hundreds of good jobs, BUT based on the anti-growth policies being pursued in Washington, we cannot go forward. When our government once again respects property rights and free markets and sound money, then we will consider going forward.”
US Steel was frightened and intimidated out of this project and I don’t blame them one bit. Spend a billion dollars and have Hussein declare the final outcome “illegal??” Or perhaps, “nationalize” the completed plant...for THE GREATER GOOD, of course. Husseins plans for the destruction of free enterprise are right on schedule.
McCain told Michigan industrial workers their jobs weren’t coming back. He was crucified in the press. 0bama says the same jobs aren’t coming back and he gets a pass.
Oh, that’s right. 0bama is replacing the U.S. Steel jobs with “green” jobs. That’s right, we’ll take the steelworkers out of the now-closed mills, and give them the poles with the point on the end so they can pick up litter on the highway. It’s a great “green” job.
They are going to idle 7 of the 12 batteries at the plant this spring, I wonder if they will ever start them back up again. Like a blast furnace, they don’t like to be idled.
Also in the news around here, the EPA is testing air quality in the schools that are around this plant.
Of course, the irony, which is obvious to most, is that many of these captains of industries' employees voted with their unions to bring Obama in. Now, their benefit from electing this administration is unemployment or underemployment for all.
