GE will benefit from CapNTrade to the tune of billions apparently. They are pushing for it.
Where is the shocking accusation???
For later perusal...
The real shock here is that after all the so called outrage by GE shareholders they re-elected the same board members to new terms.
Sort of like the political electorate isn’t it. My congressman is a corrupt thieving spineless SOB but dammit he’s my corrupt, thieving, spineless SOB!
Didn’t I just post this same story about 15 minutes ago?

I was neither shocked nor surprised. The sad part of it is that it was compared to the seriousness of Watergate, but I don’t think that anything would ever become of it if it is indeed true. It will be one of those things that are just shrugged off, either because the power balance is lopsided, or people in general won’t understand what it means.
We have a very sad state of affirs in the Union today when those in power can do virtually anything they want. Fortunately we have two checks on that power left. The Supreme Court, and We the People from which all power government originates.
We all need to be sure to go to a Tea Party near us the next time they come about, because when all else fails, it’s up to us to inform the government that it no longer has consent of the govered. The founding fathers counted on this as a backstop in case the government should careen out of control to the extent as this one has.
Barry’s administration will go down in history as the most corrupt since the founding of this nation!
"Eddie Willers walked on, wondering why he always felt it at this time of day, this sense of dread without reason. No, he thought, not dread, there's nothing to fear: just an immense diffused apprehension, with no source or object."
Starting to sound familiar?
Some of us have known this for quite some time. In fact people thought I was nuts for wanting to protest their shareholders meeting. We should have had thousands of people outside there showing their shareholders just how upset we are with their political agenda!!!
Is this what the turn of the early 20th century newspaper barrons used to do? They would controll the press to promote their personal projects.
It is just NOW that the MSM is reporting on this. It remains to be seen if this is an ongoing story or just a fluke.
