” Tax dollars didn’t go to welfare or farm subsidies or the “War on Drugs.” Instead, Americans were employed to design, construct, crew and maintain an asset which may well defend us in the future. “
Americans - UNION members in liberal mecca-land CT . How many of these employees you think vote REPUB ?
How many border walls could we have built with the dough they spent of the NH ?
As long as they built it to specs, I don't care who they vote for. The infrastructure for SSNs is where it is. I'd love it if it were in Wyoming, but that ain't gonna happen.
As for the wall, let's get real. The lawsuits from "American" property owners and politicians have just begun. USS New Hampshire may sink a PLAN SSBN someday. A hell of a lot more bang for the buck than a wall.
As a former employee of Electric Boat and a Republican, I can tell you that there are plenty of Republicans working there. Just because CT is a "blue state" don't assume everyone in the state is a liberal Democrat. In fact there are very conservative parts of CT, but unfortunately they are overshadowed by the urban liberal areas.
