It’s better to stick with things like Romneycare instead of bringing up what amounts to business miracles.

You are so right. Attack Romney on his failure as a Gov, on romneycare, gun control, abortion. Romney running Bain Capital is a dumb line of attack and plays right into the socialists hands. Are we supposed to believe that Gingrich, who traded influence for millions at the public trough, would be a good leader of "ethical capitalism"?

Yes, agreed.

The other thing I forgot to mention in post 271 was that as Hoodat said GS did survive the Chapter 11 bankruptcy which was not primarily to liquidate assets but to seek protection to try to keep the company going.It did survive and the only plant that was liquidated was the unionized one. Those were the 750 who lost their jobs. The other 3100 non unionized workers in non unionized plants did keep their jobs and although not currently owned by Bain the company has grown under a succession of owners to 6000 employees and is the 5th largest steel company in the US.
Lesson learned. Never buy a company with a union component to it.I only wish Obama had done this with GM and put it into Chapter 11 to expunge the cancer.
