Researchers say 23,600 jobs could be created while 11,506 would be lost, with broader concerns about sustaining defense industry layoffs and aircraft production.

Police hunt for man who sold newborn for ten dollars
In Tustin California police search for a man who offered a newborn for drugs or money and then sold the child for ten dollars. The baby boy, just two to three hours old, was in good health after brief hospitalization and is now at a children's home. An 18 year old, Garcia, carried the boy to a church, saying the man appeared "messed up" as he exchanged the infant for ten dollars. Investigators are unsure if the baby had been preoccupied or if the seller was the father.
