Is this really good news for Boeing...?

Boeing told all the states to "compete" to have the 7E7 built in their
backyard. I feel it will soon be exposed as a hoax. I'm thinking the Boeing
executives NEVER had any intention to build in any other location than
Everett- just work the government for whatever tax breaks they can squeeze
out of them.

Our tax dollars paid for a special session of the legislature to meet and
vote the biggest corporate tax incentive yet, which equates to $150,000 in
tax breaks per worker, per year. In other words Boeing gets free labor on
the 7E7 (per the local news as reported earlier tonight).

They even screwed the workers out of the unemployment benefits due them.

Yeah, I know we need the jobs here- But this just leaves a real sour taste .

The news today about Boeing building the 7E7 and giving the wing to
Japan to build sounds like it was taken directly out of the text of
Micheal Crichton's book Airframe, where some unscrupulous executives
at an ailing aircraft manufacturer give away closely guarded secrets
to turn a quick profit at the cost of future American jobs. Is this
really good news for Boeing...?
