What it boils down to is money into the US=Good. Money out of the US=Bad.

Make up your mind. You were just bitching about Cessna maximizing its
profit by outsourcing. Seems to me that profit is money into the US...

For a few. The rest--the people who made Cessna what it was by Actually
Making the Cessnas--will have a hard time enjoying Cessna's "profits."

You're right.
"Cessna recorded a 2005 profit of $457 million on revenue of $3.4 billion,
compared to 2004 profit of $267 million on revenue of $2.5 billion. The
company builds business jets at its factory complex at Wichita's
Mid-Continent Airport and single-engine piston aircraft at its plant in
Independence, Kan. "

Good for them. The record profits must have been hurting them so bad, they
just had to relocate to China.

Wal-Mart's domestic factories were going flat out when they bragged to
everybody about how American they were.

One thing here. Wal-Mart isn't a manufacture.

True, but they're an umbrella for them. Check this out, direct from
http://www.walmart-china.com

"Wal-Mart firmly believes in local procurement."

"We recognize that by purchasing quality products, we can generate more job
opportunities, support local manufacturing and boost economic development.
Over 95% of the merchandise in our stores in China is sourced locally." [I
love irony...]

"We have established partnerships with nearly 20,000 suppliers in China. At
Wal-Mart, we always work with our suppliers to grow together...
Additionally, Wal-Mart directly exports about US$9 billion from China every
year. The export volume by third party suppliers is also estimated to be
over US$9 billion."

"Wal-Mart will continue to grow in China and contribute to the local economy
in the following areas:
a.. Increase procurement and support the export of Chinese products to
international markets
b.. Increase investment in China, especially in the western provinces, in
response to the governmental policy of "Developing the West"
c.. Create more employment opportunities and generate more tax revenues to
benefit the local economy
d.. Work closely with consumer goods manufacturers, sharing information
and resources, in order to help improve their production, technology and
management skills"

Who made Cessna what it is? The workers? The management? The INVESTORS? Who
actually had $$$ at risk?

When it comes to the ability of America, its economy and its people, we all
have $$$ at risk.

All the money in the empire couldn't have built Julius Caesar a Cessna.

All the money in the American economy wouldn't have populated general
aviation with the Cessnas that the factory workers didn't build for them.
If the Cessna investors want to make Cessna a chinese company whose profits
go to a small number of -international- shareholders (not necessarily
Americans) they should just say so. But first they should tell it to the
Americans who just lost their jobs to the communists so that handful of
investors could make more money.

No employee at Cessna lost their job because they're building the 162 in
China. Cessna is hiring.
