Blaming Congress' impasse on the Export-Import Bank, General Electric (NYSE:GE) said that it will move 500 U.S. jobs, some of which are deep in the heart of Texas, overseas to Europe and China in order to avoid losing business to foreign companies.
The Lone Star State is one of the losers in GE's announcement Tuesday, as the U.S.-based jobs will be shipped from Texas, South Carolina, New York and Maine to France, Hungary and China. Lawmakers from Texas also have been vocal critics of the Ex-Im Bank.

HP to jettison up to 30,000 jobs as part of spinoff
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/hp-jettison-30-000-jobs-210918954.html
Now, who used to run HP?
Yep. And the 4000+ jobs coming with Toyota USA will offset GE. You can’t spell GOPe without GE anyway.
If they want to leave because we are not going to subsidize them, fine.
If they can not compete without subsidies than they should be driven out of business. I would make GE paying its’ fair share part of any campaign I was running. They have been scamming the government for decades and have dined on the taxpayers tab for as long. AND they are not alone.
Damned that is sad....
But this is GE
Government EnCronyism
The company that pays damned near no taxes, get’s Obama’s praise and employs tons of commies in CHINA......
The last time GE was worth a hill of beans was way back when they had this guy as a spokesperson
GE is a known crony traitor.
GE is marketing to COFACE with this move which is essentially the Ex-Im bank in France.
My Son is a Nuclear Power-plant Operator and has been heavily recruited for the last 2 years to move to France, very very impressive offers...
He just says “Dad, I don’t want to be Homer Simpson”, he is still studying to be a Lawyer.
(I often wish he would take Piano lessons)
A had an employee whose father worked in the medical division for GE. His father told me stories that you cannot believe concerning GE and Obamacare.
Health care in the USA is suffering beyond what anyone could imagine. GE along with all other medical suppliers have made incredible cuts that are going to have huge ramifications in the next 10-20 years.
Jeffy Immelt is taking his football and going home.
KMA, you rotten crony capitalist.

“Hello, GE? If you’re leaving the US for good, be sure to not let the door hit you on the ass. However, if you want access to US markets, well, that’s just too bad.”
Exactly how does this have anything to do with Carly? She hasn't been associated with HP for a decade. Quite a reach to try to tie this to her campaign.
Can’t wait to see the face of Immelt when President Trump levies a 100% TARIFF on Imported Goods made with Slave Labor.
