The in box. Booze Allen, Boeing and the NSA.
Fred,
I find it interesting that Sen. Levin found it unacceptable to have the investigation of sexual misconduct charges, in the military, fall outside the military chain of command. And at the same time Sen Durbin, and others, don’t set the same standard for the NSA and national security, 70% of national security monies/duties go to pvt. companies and fall outside the chain of command. In both cases they want the publics illusion of safety and individual rights to stay intact and that we should trust them. Booze Allen started in Chicago in 1914 and are very tight with Boeing which we gave tax breaks to so they would relocate here.

The in box. “Karen Lewis is right.”
Fred,
Karen Lewis is right. The Boeing Corporation is one example. Chicago City officials justified huge tax incentives enticing Boeing to move its headquarters to Chicago by claiming that the company’s operations would produce jobs and a future income stream for the city. So Boeing got a free ride, but where are all those jobs and where is that promised income stream? Anyone with reasonably healthy instincts now knows that they were just mirages for public consumption and deception. And you can multiply the Boeing example by the hundreds.
This is how they run the city. Cutting school programs, increasing class sizes, closing schools, fighting salary increases, all are designed to support large corporations that outsource jobs to foreign countries, and all are justified by a philosophy of austerity and budget cuts to offset
