"One thriving sector: The business of war; Pentagon's contractors are looking for help" by Robert Weisman, Globe Staff | December 6, 2008
SOUTH NASHUA, N.H. - Across the nation, companies are lopping off hundreds of thousands of jobs, retailers are shuttering stores, and automakers are tottering on the edge of bankruptcy.
But here in the Merrimack River Valley, and over the state line at several industrial sites around Massachusetts, defense contractor BAE Systems is hoisting "Help Wanted" signs.
BAE develops technology in fields like electronic warfare and cybersecurity, sophisticated systems that are key to combating a new wave of threats around the globe. At a time when 1.7 million jobs have been lost in the United States this year, the company is hiring 200 engineers and manufacturing workers in Nashua, Hudson, and Merrimack, N.H., and Burlington, Lexington, and Marlborough, Mass.
Well, that will save our economy!
Other defense electronics contractors, such as Waltham's Raytheon Co. and General Dynamics Corp.'s communications systems center in Taunton, also continue to ramp up. Such companies remain awash in orders.... BAE and other military contractors have become islands of growth in a national job market that is underwater.
It hurts me just to read this stuff. The only way U.S. militarism is to be stopped is for the U.S. to economically implode and for the empire to end. The sooner the better.
The growth in defense may not continue for long....
Yeah, unless they get that NEW WORLD WAR of the DRAWING BOARD!!!! We KNOW that is coming because the U.S. CAN NOT SURVIVE otherwise (nor will it survive if it initiates WWIII; sort of a lose-lose for you, America, but I guess you are getting used to that).
Industry analysts are projecting budget cuts in major US weapons programs as the war in Iraq winds down and the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama wrestles with other priorities.
Pffft! Think I'm chomping down that MSM BS today?
Defense spending has climbed steadily during the Bush administration, reaching $671.7 billion in the 2008 fiscal year, including emergency supplemental appropriations for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. That represents a 72 percent increase from fiscal 2000, after adjusting for inflation....
While social services and $$$ for the people took a cut!
Don't you wish you had that money back, America? Were the LIES WORTH the COSTS in life, limb, and treasure?

The economic downturn has given defense contractors a boost by expanding the pool of potential employees, since workers from civilian industries have lost jobs due to cutbacks....
And CUI FRIKKIN' BONO?!!
