The WasteLAN | Is China on the "Qualified Supplier" list?
Hopefully Zhone won't be found to have chips embedded in their devices that can act as 'backdoors' without our knowledge..
"Buying American" doesn't always mean that's what you'll end up getting 100%.
Lets hope it isn't so... |

|  I'm with Zhone on this - create most US jobs as possible
I have to agree with Zhone here. The gov't money should be used to create as many jobs in the U.S. as possible. And U.S. manufacturers should be the 1st choice whenever feasible. Of course, that won't happen because China controls too much U.S. debt for the gov't to do something against the wishes of our economic masters.

WHAT?!?!?!
Since when is there any final product electronics manufacturing in the USA?
All the engineers who could make fab plants/circuit board plants are dead or in nursing homes by now. |

How about- let's not give away taxpayer money to begin with?
If they want to create real growth- reduce taxes on American companies and individuals. That's the ONLY way to get the economy going long term. There is no quick fix and any money thrown away at failing industries is just going to go into bonuses like AIG. |

I agree.. as well, since this stimulus money is coming out of our taxes, it should be used to create jobs in this country... and I don't mean just the sales. |

So even more of our tax money will be flowing into companies which produce nothing of value.
Nice.

1 edit | A stimulating vacation!
Sort of following that logic, The State of Hawaii's #1 industry is tourism. Every dollar spent by tourists recycles through the States economy affecting occupations with no obvious tie to tourism. The majority of new job creations are directly tied into the health of the tourist market, as well the loss of existing jobs.
Y'all should apply for Federal Stimulus Funds to vacation in Hawaii to help create & maintain US jobs!
EDIT to add: Don't forget the benefit to the airline industry this have as well as how it would help out the US Auto Industry with increased demand by the Auto Leasing industry. |

Re: Thanks For Nothing
That would pretty much describe Zhone. Slapping that name on Paradyne doesn't make crap turn into gold. |

Re: bullshit
Zhone's ONLY assembly plant is in Largo, FL
They make the units from start to finish there. |
