GE and Communism

GE & Immelt GE slogans over time: Progress is our most important product 1960 We Bring Good Things To Life 1982 The Government Teat is the Source of Our Lifemilk (Unspoken for about 10 years but now exposed for all to see) BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff December 10, 2012 7:59 pm Jeffrey Immelt, Chairman and CEO of General Electric and Chairman of the White House Council on Jobs and Competitiveness was interviewed by Charlie Rose on Bloomberg Television Monday evening. When asked about China, Immelt praised the Chinese and their centrally planned economy: CHARLIE ROSE: China is changing. It may be being stabilized as we speak. What does that mean for China and what does it mean for the United States? Should it change expectations? JEFF IMMELT: It is good for China. To a certain extent, Charlie, 11 percent is unsustainable. You end up getting too much stimulus or a misallocation of resources. They are much better off working on a more consumer-based economy, less dependent on exports. The one thing that actually works, state run communism a bit– may not be your cup of tea, but their government works.
