An American company uses it ECONOMIC FREEDOM to build a brand new $750 Million dollar assembly plant in South Carolina. The unions are pissed about their decision to build the plant in a "Right To Work State" - desperate for economic development in support of its 'vulnerable people'. The Obama administration rules that Boeing should add a second shift for its 787 production in WASHINGTON - the government's hand reaching into the board room of a corporation where the union failed to do so.
