5. Congress will back off the "made in America" bill.
They were already looking into this. As many corps were outsorcing without the pentigon's aprovel or knowlage. Setting up for some strange bedfellows. Today, don't be suprised to see US plants working in contries that are sapose to be our enimeies. Iran has a few, and so dose North Korya.

Natraly, congress is afraied of the embarisment this will cause. So they tried to push through a "made in America" bill that would manadate that all pentigon contracts will be 60% made in the US. Then it was cut down to 40%, then 20%. And last I heard, looked unlikly to get out of commitee. (Lobbiests are dog pilling.)

Cessnea was reportadly one of the influences against the bill.
