Defense Sector January 2008 Review

They're really pumping a lot of financial attention into the aerospace-defense sector, but it appears as though the corporate behemoths continue to overpromise and underdeliver because they just don't have enough engineers from their "fragile constellation" of star performers playing ball for the money under the working conditions characteristic of aerospace-defense for a performing engineer.

General Electric leases planes, eh? If Starbuck's manufactures saltwater aquatic ornaments with bubbly treasure chests and drivers with finned feet drinking cups of coffee underwater with the clown fish, I wouldn't be surprised. Big money is big money. A US Dollar is redeemable for anything capitalized under US legal authority by the terms of US law, and no company has ever made too much profit for its shareholders.

Bled-dry brain trusts produce complaints about the government, not feats of engineering and art.
