(CNSNews.com) - The Obama administration gave corporate giant General Electric—the parent company of NBC--$24.9 million in grants from the $787-billion economic “stimulus” law President Barack Obama signed in February 2009, according to records posted by the administration at Recovery.gov.

Despite getting $24.9 million from U.S. taxpayers, GE decreased its U.S.-based employees by 18,000 in 2009, according to the company’s 2009 annual report.

Labeled “climate revenues” and totaling $646 billion over eight years, this line item in Obama’s budget has inspired confidence in GE Chief Executive Officer Jeff Immelt. As Immelt put it in a letter this week, he believes that the Obama administration will be a profitable “financier” and “key partner.”

Actually, republicans have. Go back in the past and look at GM getting money for a jobs program in which they laid off workers. But, let me ask, did Obama do this? Was he the one signing off? How were people picked to get stimulus money. I think a lot more has to be shown before this has legs. Perhaps that is why there is a lack of sound sources on this. You think?

Ok, getting tired of your dismissal of sources. Please lay out all "sound" sources by name if you would so that we know what you will accept as news.

Because I am getting the feeling that you just don't accept anything that doesn't agree with you.

Dude, GE is in nearly every aspect of the economy in one way or another. I can't imagine a scenerio where a stimulus was passed and GE didn't get some portion of the money.

According to forbes, GE is the second largest company in the world, they made 10.7 billion dollars in income last year. (General Electric - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) 25 million is literally a drop in the bucket for them.

To insinuate that this is payback for good coverage of Obama, or payback for something that NBC has done for Obama is silly at best.

Maybe since they quote a RECOVERY.GOV spokeswoman?

GE was the primary recipient of 14 stimulus grants, a spokeswoman for Recovery.gov confirmed to CNSNews.com. These 14 grants provided GE with $24.9 million in tax dollars. On four additional stimulus grants, the primary recipient of the federal money hired GE as a contractor. Recovery.gov is the administration’s website that tracks stimulus expenditures.

No wait... RECOVERY.GOV is just a Republican shil, right?

There is corruption in the military and oil industry.

The real question is why are you complaining about this when so far I haven't seen any evidence that the money was spent on anything wasteful. Find something that shows that they were given way too much money for the work they actually did. Find anything that actually seems inappropriate.

So far your only reason to be upset is that the second largest corporation in the world, that has their hands in nearly every cranny of our economy, actually did work for money from the stimululus.

More whining about nothing. This is just as useless as the "so and so dressed up like a nazi" crap.

Cutting jobs in the US by 18,000. Yea, we got a lot for the money.

We can start with the OP.....

Hmmmm...I could be wrong, and you would have to show me where, but didn't Barry say that the Stimulus would save jobs?

So that stimulus plan is working.... working at increasing unemployment and more people on unemployment. I really am enjoying the agenda Obama and the Democrats are pursuing since it fits with my idea that they're in the fast lane to bankruptcy.

It did save jobs. Only hyper partisans disagree with that fact.

Just because it didn't save those jobs doesn't make you right and doesn't make this story any less idiotic.
