U.S. FEDERAL GRANTS

Article from Washington Post which explains how government is allegedly simplifying grant applications. Should note only Microsoft users can make use of system. Company doing work was part of IBM (which has now been purchased by Chinese firm) located in Canada.

(note link will be good for 14 days then article goes into Archives of newspaper)

Now we ask what about keeping jobs in this country? With automotive plants closed and folks being retrained why send the possible work outside of the country?

Noticed the trend for non US goods as far back as 1991 when government agencies were obtaining goods from China and other countries. No wonder there are so many unemployed and under employed.
