I’m so sorry that GE doesn’t want to come to Texas because of this. /s
Isn’t GE just another tentacle of the DNC? Texas probably really want them there.
Time to play hardball with the corporate elites. The GOP should stop supporting big business and worry more about the American worker.
We don’t need any more government dependents in Texas. Can’t boycott them because we never rbuy any of their lousy products anyway.
I support the Ex-Im Bank, even though this goes against conservative theory.
The fact is, European companies are supported by European governments, and it is impossible for our large national companies to compete with this. If we don’t help Boeing and GE, then AirBus and Siemens will make most of the international sales. These are our companies, and they employ thousands of people in the US. Yes, this is industrial policy - deal with it.
Dumb thinking on GEs part, or maybe a bluff. If moving to Texas is the right decision for GE, then basing it on the politics of the Imp/Exp bank is stupid because the results of the move, or non-move, will be realized for many years to come.
the GOP-e has big knee pads for the United States Chamber of Commerce.
The United States Chamber of Commerce does what ever GE wants.
The majority both houses that we heard about was nothing more than a get rich ploy by our elected officials.
Bailout for bankers. Some folks don’t know that GE is a ‘to big to fail’ bank.

I'd no more want GE in my town than a meat packing plant full of Bosnians. With the Agenda 21 bunch running the show locally, I may end up with both too damned close.
Mr. niteowl77
same here & they should pay their taxes to the US gov
So stay in eff’in’ Connecticut and get HAMMERED with taxes, middle-class-crushing property values, lousy schools and government intrusion into everything your employees do.
Oh yeah, don’t forget to have everyone report their guns to the gubmint.
Your choice.
Or maybe make the smart move to California. The business climate is so much better there. /s
Good for Hensarling.
Fine.
Me too.
Try Mexifornia; that should probably be a better business climate for you, GE.
What will GE do when President Trump slaps a 50% Tariff on Imported Goods made with Slave labor?
GE already has locomotive production set up in Fort Weird.
I call BS. I doubt any corporation would consider an irrelevant factor like the voting record of the local congressman in choosing a place for their headquarters.
Isn’t GE a big time union capitulator???
Unions are a bit of a pariah in Texas...They are not totally gone, but their strength is not too good here...
Maybe the hope was to move here to Texas and change the equation, in their (unions) favor???
And our Texas delegation, minus Cornyn, stood up to their BS???
I’m just speculating...The Texas democrats in our legislative delegation are surely in support of this infection, so that’s something to throw into the mixing bowl...
Picking Hensarling out of this bunch proves that they can just roll the dice when it comes to nagging on anything republican (or conservative, to a point) from Texas...
Just me, shooting from the hip...
