$35 Billion Dollars of Our Tax Money Goes To France?

I know I can't possibly be the only one outraged by our government's decision to give the $35 billion dollar contract to Airbus, a French corporation, over the United States Boeing Corporation! Have these people completely lost their minds? Here we are in one of the worst economic slow downs in years and they are giving jobs and money away to another country?

I have nothing against the French, but I for one would much rather see my tax dollars go to contracts that put United States citizens to work. Haven't government and corporate policies over the last several years sent enough of our jobs out of the country? Will they not be satisfied until they have given away so many jobs and taken so much money out of the hands of hard working Americans, that we end up being the third world country? Yes we've helped a lot of the third world countries to improve their economies, but at what cost to average U.S. citizens? When there are millions of people losing their homes because they can't pay the mortgages and foreign sovereignty funds are snatching up shares in our corporations right and left, how can the government justify giving any major contracts to a foreign corporation.

I know about the bribing incident and the surrounding scandal, but that's not reason enough as far as I'm concerned. It's time for average working class Americans to let our elected officials no that we've had enough. Stop the export of jobs and tax dollars! If they do not take the actions necessary to do this, then they should be voted out of office! Let your congressmen and state senators know that it's time to create real jobs for the people who elect them. After all, they are supposed to represent us, not France or China or India but the citizens of the United States of America! If they don't want to represent our best interests then we need to vote them out of office.
