NEW YORK — EADS remains interested in making defense acquisitions in the U.S., but high prices and uncertainty over future budgets could stand in the way. While the European aerospace giant has made several major purchases this year – including a recently announced $960 million deal to buy mobile satellite services provider Vizada – it has yet to pull the trigger on a big acquisition that would move it closer to the goal of increasing its U.S. revenues sevenfold to $10 billion annually by 2020.

EADS CFO Hans-Peter Ring notes that his company is sitting on orders worth more than $450 billion.

Other FAA employees worked without pay, planning to collect when their agency's budget is approved. With 74,000 voters out of work, one would expect lawmakers to work overtime to reach a compromise and restore funding. Not this Congress.
