Congrats to South Carolina

Congrats to South Carolina.
Between the greediness and arrogance of the communist government of the state of washington, and the arrogance and greed of the machinist union at Boeing, the second line of the 787 will be built in South Carolina. That equates to at least 4000 jobs lost in Washington initially. Although its been coming for a long time, it is the beginning of the end of Boeing in Seattle. Super high wages and benefits and crippling strikes every couple of years has caused the icon of the pacific northwest to leave. One might think that they could have taken a clue from Detroit.

The governor, the head of the union, and even our senator (?) (known as the dumbest bulb in congress) were on TV with the "deer in the headlights" look.
