Swedish firm announces $347M contract for BART extension

Swedish firm announces $347M contract for BART extension. Yup, let’s buy American and keep those American jobs going! Way to go BART! Will the steel come from China like the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge?

Manufacturing is yucky and destroys the environment. Better to have the Swedes do it. Besides - it still supports socialism, right?

This must be another one of those "shovel ready jobs" Obama promised would put the country back to work, and threw porkulus money at!

An old joke said a city wanted to construct a bridge and so the mayor soliticted bids. The Minneapolis company submitted a bid of $100 million, the Shanghai company submitted a bid of $50 million and the Chicago company submitted a bid of $250 million. The mayor said, "$250 million???? Why so damn much?" The guy from Chicago said, "$100 million for you, $100 million for me, and then we hire the guy from Shanghai to build it."

So just look for the union label, when you are riding, under the bay....Bart has never bought American with the exception of their extraordinarily high paid operators, gardeners, janitors, etc.,.!! No sweat, just taxes
