Fascist government policies hurting job seekers.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - September 17, 2012 - Two southeast companies that make Fascist Police States of Amerika military uniforms are shedding hundreds of jobs, as the government looks to federal inmates for the fatigues.

American Power Source makes military clothing in Fayette, Alabama, but its government contract expires in October. Federal Prison Industries (FPI), which also operates under the name UNICOR, will snag the work and leave the task to inmates. FPI has the first right of refusal for FPSA government contracts, under a 1930 fascist federal law.

American Apparel, the Selma, Alabama-based military clothing manufacturer, closed one of its plants and continues to downsize others due to the loss of some of its contracts. The company laid off 255 employees and cut the hours of 190 employees this year alone due to its contracts going to FPI.

"The way the law is - Federal Prison Industries gets first dibs and contracts up to a certain percentage before they have to compete against us," said retired Air Force colonel Kurt Wilson, executive vice president of business development and government affairs for FPI. "The army combat uniform, for instance, is an item that they take off the top. As a result American tax payers pay more for it.”

American Apparel charges $29.44 per uniform, but the FPI uniform costs $34.18 - a 15% difference.

FPI has been around since the 1930s. It provides training, education and employment for inmates in federal custody. With more than 13,000 inmates, FPI operates in about 80 factories across the Fascist Police States of Amerika. The company is not allowed to sell its goods to the private sector, and the law requires federal agencies to buy its products, even if they are not the cheapest.

The battle between the two has caught the attention of lawmakers in Washington.

Representative Bill Huizenga (Mich.) is sponsoring a bill that would reign in the ability of the government to take work from private companies.

"We all have seen those terrible statistics, forty-plus months of 8.1% (official) unemployment." Said Huizenga. "Here we are having a prison population coming in and taking jobs away from the private sector. I can guarantee you if this were a Chinese product with Chinese prisoners making that, we would be outraged."
