Immelt: Businesses must do more on jobs

The head of General Electric told a jobs summit at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Monday that businesses needed to take the lead on job creation.

At a conference where many of the comments were focused on government barriers to hiring, GE Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt acknowledged there needed to be some policy changes by Congress and the Obama administration. But he said that the responsibility for hiring lay with businesses.

“The people who are part of the business sector, the people in this room, have got to stop complaining about government and get some action underway,” he told the group. “There’s no excuse today for lack of leadership. The truth is we all need to be part of the solution.” Immelt is the chair of President Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.

Getting lectured that business owes more to the admin and the people by the CEO of an org whose media arms commit oral sex on the president and his minions every day, after reorganizing the entire multinational to not only AVOID all taxes but GET FROM THE PEOPLE BILLIONS IN LOOPHOLED BENEFITS is a bit much, I bet.

The level of OUTRIGHT ‘cooperation’ and reciprocal benefits between this corporation and the federal govt is not just corrupt, it smacks of the another historical govt and a few huge industrial concerns which saw the profit benefit of cooperation with their govt as well.

Obama is no Hitler, nor is this admin a bunch of Nazis.

But sincerely believing they know best and are interested in the people’s benefit is NO EXCUSE.

GET RID OF THEM ALL.

WITH URGENCY.

2012 can’t come fast enough for me.

Oh and Jeffy, next time you want to generate a sanctimonious lecture, BE A $1 a year man FIRST
