dammit man, i knew it was too good to be true....Job does not exist, people when they find themselves loosing an argument often times pull random numbers and facts out of their ass...
I can't blame the company one bit for taking the money, if the government is stupid enough to give it to them.
It's like when your wife cheats on you. Who do you blame the most? Him for taking the *****, or her for giving it up, to begin with? I would place most of the blame with her.
I do not think it unreasonable to add tariffs and such to account for differences in environmental and labor laws. Clean companies and fairly paid employees are expensive.

Wasn't/Isn't G.E.’s chief executive, Jeffrey Immelt, the chairman of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness? I guess he's getting out before he has to start paying taxes. This should be great for the 2012 campaign. Even paying no taxes could keep Obama's business buddy from moving business interests to China.
GE's slogan should read: Progress to China is our most important product.
Yes, but at the same accord we hear the same tired montra of "punishing the rich" and if we just gave more "tax breaks" we'd get more jobs. But that didn't pan out, did it? They took our money and then when they were in the place to repay, they renigged instead. So **** them. Next time, their company can suffer the slings and arrows of the economy and if they come running again with their hands out, we should tell them "tough titties". [/b]Let the market kill them off, there will be another company to take its place. Too big to fail?[/b] We shall see.
Obama's been in the back pocket of GE for awhile now ... and GE have already profited by it .. . now they are just hedging their bets because they aren't sure they can get him elected again
It's more of the same story. Corporatism. Corporations are loyal to the strong currency! It's good business! It's good for shareholders! Oh, I forgot, they have more rights than living, breathing voting citizens because we only get one vote for a Representative or Senator but they can own their own. That'd be lotsa votes, eh?
Money talks.
GE moving X-ray business to China - The Boston Globe
The business climate is not conducive to expansion or growth especially with the threat of higher taxes on profits.

Oh hog wash. We have a mature market here where as China is an emerging market.
But, we have an immature regime in power.
Right, as evidenced by its threat to blow the economy's head off if it doesn't get everything it wants, plus a trip to Disney World. Oh wait ... that's the republicans.
Obama all things to the conservatives
He hates big oil
yet is in the pocket of BP
He wants to end drilling in the gulf yet gives BP and some other oil cos some exemptions
He hates big business, the banks yet is in the pocket of them doing their bidding
The contradictions within ones mind to spew out this type of nonsense must be quite painfull ( or require a very simple mind

Got a list of those exemptions that Obama gave to the oil companies?
Can't wait to see this!
Fair enough. But the reality is still that this trend in global business to favor China is something beyond anyone's control, its just the free market at work and business seeking lower operating costs. It goes well beyond government involvement and into what individual people will accept as a job. On top of that do we really want to reduce ourselves to wage levels in China just so we can compete for these types of industries? Because mind you that its not all industry that moving, its mostly industry that relies on an uneducated work force. The unemployment rate for people who have bachelor's or master's degrees in the US is still very low, the way to compete in the future is education and jobs/careers which require education.
What I see is this, either we get more educated and get more competitive. OR we slash wages, government benefits, safety standards etc, work conditions, our standard of living and march back into the 20's in terms of wages, benefits, standards etc just to compete with China and other developing economies. Well we'll undoubtedly have to do a bit of both, some slashing but invest in education as much as we can. That way we can preserve our standard of living and continue to increase it because we'll have the skills and knowledge to justify it, and yes we'll have to buy toasters from China.
It isn't completely out of anyone's control. Let's be clear up front also. Those going to China who work for GE are still going to make some major money. Obama had some great idea on how to keep jobs here when he ran for president but he's tossed them aside.
Enacting tarrif's is a losing proposition. Taxing companies that send jobs overseas at a higher rate isn't.
We are not losing jobs to China because they are better educated.
