It is one thing to take input from the head of one of the worst monopolistic corporations in the country.
It is another to elevate him, tell America that GE has the answer to our problems, and endorse the idea that corporations should be taxed less and regulated less.
Even if it is only symbolic, it is very disturbing, if one cares about actually looking at new answers to our stubborn problems.
Obama's call for a review of "stupid regulations" that hold back progress and "competitiveness" is another example of repeating the same old crap.
Balance yes. Selling out totally, no.

Big K&R, the solutions are simple and obvious, and exactly in the opposite direction O is heading. |
