Historically, GE's political contributions have been pretty balanced,
since they like to play both sides of the street.

And maybe you haven't noticed, but Bush isn't president any more (it
was in all the media, even the "liberal" sort).

GE's CEO Immelt chairs Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.

You say that like you think Obama is a liberal.

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And it¹s not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. That¹s hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they don¹t get away with no taxation.
