    which is one of the dangers of any form of governmental involvement in private industry other than enforcement of contracts and safety. The things they do to encourage one business may shut down another business or even that very one.

    David for limited, necessary government

    One other thing how you make money when you make things two and three times, trying to get it right? Poor Management! Beware of the headlines…..knowing them layoff’s are right around the corner. They get incentives to hire folks, then lay them off……

    Sales are so good! No raise in the last 5 years though for the people who are getting the materials in to the plant!! All they are getting is more and more workload, advise find a new job! No future there unless you are in the buddy system.
