Great thread Bill.

Thank's, RCR. Welcome aboard! Really stupid memo. And we know Rockefeller was in on it. The Dems have made a living out of destroying the CIA over the years. Of course, with CIA's record on 911 and Iraq, they don't seem too be doing to well at the moment.

The Government bodies never learn. Because it isn't their money.

States Pay for Jobs, but It Doesn't Always Pay Off
By LOUIS UCHITELLE NEW YORK TIMES

INDIANAPOLIS — A huge, light-gray building, trimmed jauntily in blue, rises from the rolling, grassy fields on the far side of the runways at Indianapolis International Airport. From the approach road, the building seems active. But the parking lots are empty and, inside, the 12 elaborately equipped hangar bays are silent and dark. It is as if the owner of a lavishly furnished mansion had suddenly walked away, leaving everything in place.

That is what happened. United Airlines got $320 million in taxpayer money to build what is by all accounts the most technologically advanced aircraft maintenance center in America. But six months ago, the company walked away, leaving the city and state governments out all that money, and no new tenant in sight.
