Boeing to close Wichita facility by end of 2013

Mike Pompeo ...More tax cuts for the job creators... Don't raise taxes on the Rich...

Least they aren't moving to Mexico or Taiwan.

So, up goes the Foreclosure rate for that area, Starbucks will close, as will Walmart, Target, 2 McDonalds, and taxes will rise? There is a pattern.

Boeing just won a 3.48 Billion defense contract?

If that was my job, I would be moving with them just to keep employment in this hard economy and no work climate.

another nail in the coffin

For every one of 2,100 well-paying jobs at its Kansas facility, 4 others in the 'private' sector will lose theirs. This is a lose-lose situation.

Well, at least The job market is booming according to Yahoo news a couple days ago, and unemployment is down according to the same. They should have no problems finding a new job. It only took me 20 months when the US Government paid my company to move to India. I'm only making 1/3 of what I was, but I'm just glad to be back on the taxpayer rolls. Just makes it all worthwhile....

Didn't they just get a government contract for $3.2 billion?

Catch 22 - we want the spending to stop - we seem to be of the belief that govt spending has direct impact to the government only. America - you can't have your cake and eat it too! My condolences to the people losing their jobs.

Welcome to the rebounding recovery from the recession!! Aint it just wonderful?

So long middle class jobs.

Both of my parents worked for Boeing at Wichita and the Cape in the late fifties and early sixties. Boeing was a huge part of their lives. If they were still here, they would be sad!!!

I hope they offer options to their Wichita employees to move to the other 3 states. It's a change, but at least there's continuity.

At least Boeing is an American company. How about cutting the Haliburton contracts, as they're no longer an American company---their headquarters is in Dubai...........
It should be a law that only American companies paying American taxes to American workers can be used by any government project---local, state OR federal.

As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls---Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays(1981.)

SURPRISE!! They fed wichita a line of crap to get what they wanted in money so they could get everthing in order to get the "hell ot of kansas"!!!! Our polititions patted themselves on the back because they were able to get boeing to stay in wichita!!! THEY GOT THERE POCKET BOOKS PADDED AND THE TAX PAYER TAKES IN THE BACKSIDE AGAIN!!!!!! ALL SENATORS AND GOVERNORS (anyone in political power) should be hung or put in front of a firing squad!!!!!! They are only out for themselves!!!! The end is near!!!! and all polititions will rot in HELL!!! death to them all!!!!

wait. what? The other yahoo article said that the economy is getting better, now this?

At least the jobs will stay in the USA.

They just sealed a 7.48 Billion dollar missile deal and another 35 Billion dollar contract for Air Force Tankers with the govt. By the way, this is the SAME plant that they told the Feds they would provide 7500 direct and indirect jobs to if they got the tanker contract. Boeing needs to repay all monies they were given as an incentive to have that plant open this year and until they lock the door. Breach of contract with the town as far as I'm concerned.
