1. Good. They're working to provide thousands of jobs for Americans.

That's part of what the government is supposed to do -- help U.S. companies survive in the world economy.

2. so do you also support the bank bailouts?

this is news out from WikiLeaks, so it can't be the brightest news out there. Cenk explained that diplomats were acting as Boeing salespeople in competition against the Airbus. more info at huffpo

5. Most of the jobs were outsourced long ago.

This isn't about jobs for Americans. If our political leaders gave a fuck about American workers, they would immediately move to renegotiate NAFTA, put caps on H1Bs and tax outsourcing.

This little circle jerk WikiLeaks has exposed is all about generating big profits for executives and investors, who can then funnel a little bit of the money back into the politicians' coffers. It's incredibly sleazy to try and excuse this oligarchical socialist scam by cloaking it in the guise of pro-labor policy. It's anti-competitive, anti-free market, anti-capitalist and anti-worker.
