When she discussed the infrastructure outsourcing to an Australian company, it truly infuriated me. I believe she said Goldman Sachs owned the Australian company. I immediately thought of the American Jobs Act which the President was trying to pass some time ago but the Republicans refused to pick up. Now we know why. That act created a lot of jobs fixing our infrastructure and they were to be American jobs performed by the American people. People said these jobs could not be outsourced, but here we go, Australians will be working on repairing our roads.

This is infuriating beyond words. And so is the outsourcing of food to be supplied to schools and somewhat to our military by that French company.

This video needs a lot of exposure and a lot of people truly listening to it.

Thank you for posting it.

PS You should find Ed Schutz' Facebook page and past this info there. He would pick it up.

ships it into your local school, while your local farmers go bankrupt and watch their produce shrivel up in the fields because they can NOT find buyers.

My farm and a group of about 20 other farmers met with our local school superintendent about 2 years ago to see what we had to do to get them to buy our produce. It amounted to a waste of time. The farmers got very angry and the school administration got defensive.

The end result was that the schools still buy the crappiest, cheapest, unhealthiest, worst food they can and feed it to your children. I bet those French executives don't feed their children this way.
