I wanted to get to this story a while back but have been a bit busy. Still, it’s worth noting. The government is so out of control under the Obama-Fuhrer that it is now telling private companies where they can locate their production facilities. But why should that be a surprise when the same people think that they should be able to force you to buy health insurance?
This is the kind of creeping fascism that is destroying the country and our economy. The solution is to purge the government of people who think that they are better at running your life than you are.
Can federal bureaucrats tell a private company where to build a factory?
Members of President Obama’s National Labor Relations Board think they can. In a decision that even the New York Times is describing as “highly unusual for the federal government,” Lafe Solomon, who was appointed to the board by Obama, filed a complaint on behalf of the NLRB on Wednesday seeking to force the Boeing Co. to build an assembly line in Washington state instead of South Carolina. The NLRB action stems from Boeing’s October 2009 decision to build a new factory for its new 787 Dreamliner airplane near Charleston, S.C. Boeing first sought to build the new plant near its existing facility in Puget Sound, but negotiations with the International Association of Machinists broke down when the union refused to agree to a long-term no-strike clause. The IAM had struck four times since 1989, costing Boeing at least $1.8 billion in revenue.
