Corporate welfare, the end of competitive bidding, or both?

10. Pentagon under pressure to delay or divide Joint Strike Fighter contract By Brody Mullins, CongressDaily Supporters of the Boeing Co., bracing for yet another big loss, are pressuring the Pentagon to delay or divvy up a massive new contract for next-generation fighter jets to replace the military's existing wing of warplanes. Allies of the aerospace giant fear that granting rival Lockheed Martin Corp. the entire $200 billion joint strike fighter contract would deal a devastating blow to Boeing, even as its commercial aircraft business continues to reel from last month's terrorist attacks. Republican Sen. Christopher (Kit) Bond and Democratic Sen. Jean Carnahan, both of Missouri, back a proposal to force the Pentagon to award the loser of the fighter jet contract with one- third of the project's manufacturing.

One wonders what they have that is patentable. Given that we've been using laptops with PGPfone/Nautilus/SpeakFreely for a while. Maybe the concept of an answering machine with PK exchange? Is this supposed to be nonobvious?

House chairman doesn't want "parochial" issues to stop wiretap bill

Parochial issues like privacy, maybe? -Declan --- News Advisory For immediate release Contact: Jeff Lungren October 24, 2001 202-225-2492 House Passes Anti-terrorism Legislation Sensenbenner Urges Senate Action Today WASHINGTON, D.C. - The House today passed anti-terrorism legislation by a 357-66 margin. H.R. 3162, introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-Wis.), is expected to be considered by the Senate today or tomorrow and then sent to President Bush for his signature. "Today, the House came together in a bipartisan manner to pass landmark anti-terrorism legislation which provides federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies the tools they need to combat the scourges of international and domestic terrorism. Our country remains vulnerable to terrorism and our President needs this bill to fight the clear and present danger posed by Al Queda and other terrorist organizations," said Chairman Sensenbrenner. "I have heard that certain Senators have placed holds on this anti-terrorism bill to press their own parochial issues. This is the time to dispense with business as usual. It is time for leadership; I urge the Senate to pass this legislation today."

We will only be safer if we heed his advice. The direction of all recent administrations has been to expand globalization (i.e., interdependency) thus increasing economic risks and narrowing diplomatic choices. In the short term, and we have no idea what the long term consequences will be, globalization as its now practiced has is some ways behaved similarly to welfare state income redistribution, creating dependencies, poverty and resentment. > >Thanks for the link to the funny song, though.
