Live by government, die by government.

If they aren’t profitable without government money put them under.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

This list is unadulterated b.s. Most of the health care companies they list (e.g. Edwards Lifesciences, Baxter, Medtronic, Boston Scientific) are more concerned about how they are going to deal with the enormous costs imposed by the pathetically designed ‘Obamacare’. The truth for probably most of these companies is the opposite of what this report says. They would do much better if government involvement decreased.

[bleach]

I figured the weasel Jeffrey Immelt-For-Obama and GE would’ve been Number 1. They didn’t even make the list.

Didn’t a considerable amount of Goldman Sachs employees CAUSE a lot of this nations problems in the first place?

Saw Waste Management on that list. Was a little skeptical.

[Slump Tester]

Companies that made buggy wheels are gone, too.

[Fightin Whitey]

They’re not going to cut anything.

They can always “reach across the aisle” to increase spending.

They’ll do it by temporary spending bills, from now until the crash, if they have to.

[ontap]

While the defense contractors listed here profits might suffer they will still have major contracts. I don't know if crushed is the right word here!! Downsized is more like it.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

This article reminds me of Democrats who trot out one or two sob-stories helped by a government program, yet ignore the millions of other people “crushed” by government regulation, debt and taxes.

I’m much less worried about the 44 companies that would get “crushed” by government spending cuts than the hundreds of thousands of companies that would be buoyed upward by reduced government.

Excepting defense companies, of course.

[Solson]

This assumes the cuts are primarily defense. If the government cuts social programs, then is list should look at all the NGO’s, consultants and community organizations who will get hit. But that doesn’t scare Republicans so they produce this list. Business Insider is leftist. Don’t trust them.

[ExCTCitizen]

Goldman put together the list of U.S. companies whose revenues rely most on the government.

Is GM on the List??
