I hope it creates `jobs & helps our country for the
major cost to taxpayers
Officials said it’s too early to say how many jobs the project could create. It was also not clear whether Walbridge would run the facility. RACER will continue to manage the site’s $36-million environmental cleanup , which is funded by the U.S. government (YOU) and the post-bankruptcy assets of old GM

This is practically right in my backyard.

To note, this new GM plan will not disrupt the previously announced plan by Yankee Air Museum, which wants to acquire a portion of the plant to renovate for use as a museum. This is where "Rosie the Riveter" worked back in the day when WWII bombers were being built at Willow Run.

I see it in so many run or involved government run operations.
I just answered a poll `if the USA should bomb Syria @ the cost
of over one billion dollars
I voted `NO, I think we should correct the problems in our country
first (like the crime, the suffering, the dangers in every big
city, the hungry, etc).. I think our country should Lead by example
and not by force. I think we should make our country a good
example for the rest of the World to emulate.

We should have a country that people don't have to live in fear,
and be able to travel anywhere in peace.
A place where you can park your Monte Carlo & it is safe from harm.
I believe that we need to take the bad off our streets &
put them on work farms & work & support themselves, by
growing their own food, building their own shelter etc.
(we have many empty military bases +)
The non violent bad could be trained to work on our poor
roads, bridges, inter-structure etc.
Clean up cities like Detroit/paint/repair/live.
Teach the bad that they have to give `up to get
& there's no more free rides.
If you father or have children...You will pay for them.
Retrain them & teach them what they have not been taught
by the parent*(s), teacher's, mentor's, clergymen etc.

I have much more, but I won't belabor this topic more...
Sorry for the highjack & venting.
I was just working on payroll deductions + the amount that
I pay in taxes..

We the people must get involved in government & demand
a change for the good.... Our government has mastered how
to keep us all busy trying to survive that we don't have
the time to get involved or pay attention how they have
put our nation in a unrecoverable `debt
If China called in their loans to us...we would be the USA of China..
It's sure not a pretty Story 4-Sure.
I have to stop watching & reading the local, state, national &
World News > It's really depressing 4-Real.

That's `all
Peace/Out
