General Electric

In the news — I just had to re-post this from a friend who emailed it to me.

“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.  Way to go Mr. President!!”

True per Snopes:  http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/ge.asp

An article in the San Francisco Journal dated April 5, 2011 also states the same thing.

What is this world coming to? Illogical sense is no sense at all.
