Rumors or darts..... just passing a cheap $.02

In any event can anyone recall a politico actually generating a real job in the last half century?
Does anyone actually believe that if this deal is delayed or railroaded that DHL will continue to dump billions of dollars down a rathole?

Hey guys, Kentucky has politicians too. They will be fighting for the new jobs at UPS just like anyone else. Right or wrong, that is what they will do, fight for jobs in their district.
I also heard on the B&G that 777's were coming in 08.

On a side note has UPS said if any jobs would be created by this union or can they simply add the weight to the current system without any major hiring.
