Investing $2 Billion across China??? President Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). I guess the President forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs.

Yet GE has the guts to run an ad now showing patients that have benefited from these machines visiting this plant in WI to thank the workers.

If it were any other president, the media would be frying them non-stop for this.

The ads are probably paid for with our tax dollars somehow too.

Put a high duty rate on all imported manufactured goods, and see how fast America's unemployment rate falls.

Like with Smoot-Hawley?

I’m thinking that, in Iowa especially, Rick Santorum will be “last man standing”. Right now, I’m still leaning toward Newt, but I’m reassessing and I could live with Santorum very easily.

I conslted for a year in a GE Health startup in 2009(digital pathology). They spent money like it was going out of style, but no one could dispute the product is a game changer.

The company is a giant and does as it pleases. Hence, it is too big to fail.

I hate that they are turning their back on US workers. They will lose a lot of innovation our workers provide.

Crappy, junky GE appliances could be our secret weapon to drive the Chinese to their knees.

"Like with Smoot-Hawley?"

Ick.

Brainwashed much? It's no longer Smoot-Hawley, get with the program. Back then, we were the exporter.

Now it's "Hawley-Smoot", and it would have the exact opposite effect this time around.

America First.

Whatcha goin’ ta do when China erupts in Civil War? What goin’ ta happen to your new factories when your slave labor revolts? Whatcha going to do when Red China cash cow goes sour? Its going to happen—Read your Chinese history. OR What you going to do if a Trump or a Newt or a new Reagan puts up tariffs on cheap Chinese goods? Or bans then all together? Whats going to happen if there is war and the Reds just seize your factories? They will not pay capitalist slobs for their investments. Not smart.
