Very little of this has anything to do with 2008.

Same question.

Did you read Lucy's post?

This is a situation that has been going on for years.

But in your usual partisan bullshit you want to put all of the blame on Obama.

Very little of this has to do with taxes, if thats what you are getting at. Which is precisely why I ignore lucys posts, she misses the point entirely.

Wait I dont get what GE is doing wrong? Its no different than Dick Chaney did with Halliburton, Oil Companies with government subsidies, or Michele Bachmann Clinic? America is Capitalist and I dont under stand why its such a big deal that the government is buying GE products when it apparently needs GE products because the guy at the top says so. After all forcing the government spend tax payer money isnt Socialist, it just good business.

What they are doing wrong is using highly paid attorneys to provide them tax shelters while average citizens are subsidizing it.

But maybe we can cut social security and medicare and transfer those funds to companies like GE.

And I'm sure that will benefit us all.

So he wants to do the exact same we do with oil companies like exxon?

Of course why would it? Just because it started under Bush's term doesnt mean its Bush's fault.

I think you missed Sanity's point (or I did). There isnt anything illegal or unethical about what GE is doing UNLESS the benefits they get are the result of special deals between the Administration and their financial supporters.

Of course there is also the broader issue of social engineering and whether the tax code should be used to select winners and losers in the first place, but that isnt the issue here.

That is exactly the issue.

Why should we be cutting the so-called entitlement programs while funding tax breaks for wealthy corporations?

Oh wait, I remember. It's because they are going to employ all of America.

How's that been working out?

Can you feel it ,see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy, it's outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet
You want it all but you can't have it
It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You've got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
It's magit, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
It's sad it happened and it's a shame
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
What is it?
It's it
What is it?...

We have been doing it with major corporations for years.

But it's really an interesting phenomenon.

When a Democrat is in office you hear the complaints like on this thread.

But you heard nothing from conservatives when Bush was in office, even though the exact same things were happening.
