I wonder which has more of an impact on this country - Perry's ownership of Blockbuster stock ages
ago or GE's continuous exportation of jobs.


General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha , Wis.
to Beijing . In addition to moving the headquarters, the company will invest $2 billion in China
and train more than 65 engineers and create six research centers. This is the same GE that made
$5.1
billion in the United States last year, but paid no taxes-the same company that employs more people
overseas than it does in the United States .
So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his
commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt is supposed to help create jobs. I guess
the President forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs.
If this doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know what does.

"As the company grows more global, it's increasingly important for us to become close to our
customers," Ms. LeGrand said, adding that she expects 20% to 25% of GE Healthcare's X-ray products
to be developed in China during the next three to five years for sale around the world.

Gosh, I wonder if that 'close to the customers' bit holds true for AlGore light bulbs also?

Let's see, so as a right winger, you are for LESS government
intervention, right? Oh, you mean unless it fits your agenda, then you
are for MORE restrictions, like to keep companies from moving over seas,
eh?

John is right, but so is iBoat More. It is time to end Corporate
Welfare. You are either an American Company in America, or you aren't.
A PO Box in Puerto Rico just isn't enough.

Obama has lost most of his credibility trying to negotiate. Bush Sr.
got has ass whipped with the same mistake. I would have thought Obama
was smarter. Apparently, he isn't.

PS
Let's do that to ALL welfare. No contribution, no financial help.

What not end all welfare, corporate, inter-governmental, institutional,
and personal? Best motivator to get a job is need.
