If you were ever in doubt what type of thinking this administration fosters, this clip should put any debate to rest.
Appearing Monday morning on CBS, Obama’s jobs council head and the CEO of GE Jeffrey Immelt said that one thing that “actually works” is “state-run Communism” in China.
After host Charlie Rose brought up the “growth rate” of China falling from double digits to about eight percent, Immelt chimed in.
“Look, I think it’s good for China,” he said. “To a certain extent, Charlie, 11 to 12 percent is unsustainable. You end up getting too much stimulus or a misallocation of resources. They are much better off working on a more consumer-based economy, less dependent on exports, driving technology and innovation harder. Really, the one thing that actually works, state run communism may not be your cup of tea, but their government works.”
“They get things done,” Rose responded.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 3:26pmThe way I see it. Here is another classic example of a modern day idiot political brown nose. What’s he going to say that individual freedom and liberity is the way to go. That without the progressive commie rules, regulations mandates, and corruption man will achieve more and invent and realize prosperity. No rather today as in his case they basically forgo their principles if they had any for a buck. There will be a day coming sooner than we think that the Chinese will no longer need useful idiots like him. They will have have played fools like him for all their worth. Watch in time. it’s coming. only took 30 years for them to bury us to this point in the next 30 years either you will have to say their the greatest thing next to god.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 3:40pmLet’s see.
You print your own worthless currency. You inflate it beyond any reasonable value to the point that other nations call you a cheater at currency manipulation. You do “keep moving work” like building ghost cities who have not one resident. Nearly 800 million of your people are starving and at poverty subsistence level at best. You dictate how many children your people can have. You control their press. You imprison those who speak out against your leaders. You execute people for basic managerial mistakes. And oh yeah, most of your economy depends on a capitalist nation across the sea being more or less forced to accept your product by default through bogus trade agreements.
Oh yeah, that’s a great model there, kiddo.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 5:02pmThere are manufacturing regulations. People are very concerned about their kids. I expect their air & water standards to be close to ours, but not Carol Browner stupid (That is if you can measure it ban it).
Case in point when you put amines in milk to fool protein tests, they track you down, try you & execute you.
China will follow the American model in copyright protection. Americans did not follow copy right protection in the early years of the Republic. but that all changed when they wanted to protect their work. they passed the laws & countries like England were happier about it. China will do the same. It took the U.S. a long time. It will take China longer than we want. We should press them on it, much like England pressed us on it.

I don’t know what to do about working hours in Foxconn. You can get a Chinese worker to work more than 40 hours a week. But their hours are crazy. You are just looking for all sorts of problems from quality to unrest.
I-phones need to cost more. People need to hang onto them longer, & Apple could have less profit. No reason for people working 12 hours a day for 7 days a week for who knows how long. It is feasible in the short term but it is not feasible over the long haul. And that is a provable fact. Yo can put #s to it & relate it back to basic biology with #s.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 6:29pmImmelt is simply restating the anointed one’s position that he (Our Dear Leader) taught as a associate college professor on Saul Alinsky Quote:
“A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage — the political paradise of communism.” p.10
It’s nice to see our president and jobs Czar reading from the same page concerning the glories of communism.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 6:31pmChina still rules with an iron hand upon it’s people. They have limited freedoms. As for their economy, China for some time now has been practicing “State run Capatilism”, although not a true free market as we have here in America, they have opened their makets significantly. Just as Russia has. Yet our Socialist leader is taking us in the opposite direction, full speed into the darkness both China and Russia are leaving behind. China was smart enough to see how well Hong Kong was doing under British rule that when they took Honk Kong back and placed it under Commuinist rule, they allowed the markets to remain close to as they were. They’re better off because of it economically, although Communist at heart, they have learned first hand the horrors caused by such rule.

I don’t think this guy is anything but a tyrant, he does not care about freedom at all. He is so rich he does not need to worry about govmt because he has bought and paid for the govmt. Guy’s like Imelt and Bloomberg are dangerous men.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 10:39amHe’s right.
If you’re in charge, and close to the ruling powers as Immelt is with the Whitehouse, State-run communism will work excellently.
He will get to live in a nice house, his family will get access to the dwindling resources of the failing state, and he will be in charge. His children will be wealthy, and go to the best schools, and when they grow up they will also be in charge of the rest of us.
It’s a beautiful system for tyrants. I can see why he would approve.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 10:51amHe’s correct, communism always works for the elite, as long as you remain an elite. In China, you can be the head of the party one day, and booted out, on the street and begging the next just because you said the wrong thing. It’s a wonderful system!
You can build phantom cities to keep prices and growth artificially high, you won’t actually house people in there, even your most poor because you’d crash the value of your real estate, so you keep them empty, always in need of repair and have a job for those in your party that you need to keep on the leash to help keep the rest of the population in line. It’s a wonderful system!
You can trash your environment, kill and maim as many as you like because they will always reproduce. When you create a wasteland that has people dying by the thousands before they ever reach 50, it’s not a problem, it’s a solution to that population problem and you don’t need to pay for medical expenses beyond treatments that never work. It’s a wonderful system!
In China, every time a bell rings, another party-man gets his wings… at the expense of a previous party man who’s now fallen and won’t be let up. It’s a wonderful system!

Dec. 11, 2012 at 11:03amYou’re not understanding Immelt’s angle here….
His goal is the bottom line.
If you’ve ever had experience dealing with Chinese business you know how the government treats them.
In China..the government approaches the business and says “what can the government do to help you?”.
In America right now..the government approaches business and says..”what can I take from you?”.
The Chinese government is not being benign here or free market, quite the contrary..China manipulates it currency, offers appalling work conditions to it’s under-class and even though pay has gone up..it’s still very low. No..China is being smart and thinking strategically and long term..it’s allowing business to grow unfettered because that means bigger revenues, which in turn means greater power in today’s world. Look at Europe on it’s knees in another recession. Look at the U.S facing another recession. Now look at China expanding it’s influence?

I’m a 44 yr old part time student, disabled, married. My writing assignment was to do a letter to the editor in a local paper and try to get it published. I tried to cover Agenda 21 in 150-200 words. I’m an “A” student and can write decently. The instructor failed me because my OPINION was “conspriatorial” and didn’t have adequate backing (like the U.N. link I provided). She also said using Communist and Marxist terminology aka “being herded into serfdom” was paranoia and doesn’t spark civil conversation.
My papers all received A’s until she went on my facebook to see an extremely hateful post I made against the election results. I warned those of my friends not to rub it in my face or I’d tear their f*****g throats out. Though a public posting, I have to wonder why an instructor feels it compulsory to be on a student;s facebook page and then change that persons grading criteria. I have other students work that received A’s and their work was the same or less supported than mine. She openly invited a reaction in the classroom by quoting my facebook and saying, “what kind of monsters are people who would say these things just because their person didn’t win?”
I didn’t engage her. I believe she wanted confrontation to discredit me. The Marine and top student in the room knew about Agenda 21. She said I’m reacting to Beck propaganda. I will formally report her after taking my final.

Collectivism fails everywhere its been tried, government, unions, socialist countries, anywhere and everywhere the cons can convince you to pool your resources as a part of a “benevolent society”, the promises always exceed the ability to deliver, and the little man gets the shaft again.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 9:47amImmelt is such an idiot and that’s why GE stock tanked
China ONLY works so well because we keep giving them all of our business on unfavorable terms for us. If we stopped or if we hadn’t started they’d look like N. Korea.
But now, they have so much technology from us and scale of production because of us that they’re going to exceed us. NOT because of their government, but because of the people and slave labor

That would be correct! And one way they have gotten our technology?…….
China’s student-spy network.
That’s not my guess or conspiracy theory, but comes from our own intelligence/counter-intelligence network. Some are recruited in China before coming to our universities (or as a condition for coming to our universities), and some are recruited AT our universities. There are Chinese student groups which have received money (for their student social organizations) from OUR OWN universities. Sometimes, universities DO work with our counter-intelligence networks to catch these spys. Sometimes….not so much!
So, you ask……how does this tie in to China getting our technology? Easy. Students take courses that are of a highly technical nature. Some of the course material is FOR military use, and some is of civilian use. BUT….and here is where it gets sticky……..some of the course material blurs the line between military/civilian use. Chinese students have been convicted and sentenced to prison for secretly shipping circuitry which is banned from being shipped overseas.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 3:07pmMaybe we could send that union idiot, what’s his name, from Chicago to go over there and ‘Workers of the World Unite! Then, they will strike and demand higher wages. Then, all the jobs we exported to China will become less price-disadvantaged and we can begin to repatriot the lost jobs! Meanwhile, we’ll have all the union thugs in China and so we can restart our manufacturing businesses without ‘the Gestapo’ whining about ‘higher wages’ (if they don’t like the wages, go back to the unemployment teat, which is about to shrivel up from old age and too much suckle), and those that want to work for a ‘fair wage’ (determined by market factors, supply and demand), and maybe, a wasteland, like, er, Detroit, can be refurbished and regain its prior glory in a newly reindusrialized America! Yeah!

Dec. 11, 2012 at 9:47amSo the fact that they don’t care about people’s civil rights isn’t even an issue, what a bunch of liars. I sure hope people don’t really believe this crap..I’ll bet the liberals do since they believe everything they see on TV. What a bunch of tolls. Liars Liars Liars is all I can say to this.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 9:46amA QUOTE FROM 1944 COMING TRUE……… Norman Mattoon Thomas ** November 20, 1884 – December 19, 1968 ** was a leading American Socialist, Pacifist, and six-time Presidential candidate for the Socialist party of America. The Socialist Party Candidate for President of the US, Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 speech : The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But, under the name of “Liberalism”, they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist Program, until one day America will be a Socialist Nation, without knowing it happened.”
He went on to say : I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 3:43pmThen, the mention of Liberalism and the Democratic party should be banned from
the United States. The Americans that respect our Constitution, are Conservatives, while the
Americans whom do not respect our Constitution, are Democrats. Therefore, the competition
between the Democrats and the Republicans cannot maintain a presence in the same country.
Either the Republican or Democrat party must secede because that is the reason why nothing
ever gets accomplished on time or at all, if you follow. Get rid of the Democrats and install the
Independent party as the more appropriate competition. As I have mentioned in prior posts,
“NOTHING GOOD EVER COMES OUT OF AFRICA; NOT EVEN THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT.”

Dec. 11, 2012 at 9:40amWhat Immelt and Rose fail to grasp is that capitalism in China is merely economic livestock to the Central Party. At anytime, they can and will slaughter it for their benefit.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 9:39amTheir rulers know it doesn’t work, they just need the perfect excuse for implementing a new tyranny. Their peons believe the communism actually works. If it didn’t work in other places is because “they didn’t do it right”, and they think they are better than that, and are going to make it work by all means. The World will never run out of idiots….

Dec. 11, 2012 at 9:38am“Jeffrey Immelt said that one thing that “actually works” is “state-run Communism” in China.” Why would Immelt except the slave-workers in the Chinese Communist sweat shops, did he forget, or doesn’t want to remind American progressives what The Jerk Obama has in store for them?
Good people ought to be armed as they will, with wits and Guns and the Truth. God Bless Bitter Clingers, damn progressives.

Dec. 11, 2012 at 10:47amHere’s some irony for you: The other day I bought a scarf. The tag on it said “Free People”, but upon closer inspection it said “Made in China”. The website was “www.freepeople.com” but when I tried to go on it “Access Denied” appeared on my screen. I guess the joke was on me!

Dec. 11, 2012 at 1:34pmCoach,
maybe Immelt missed the part where the PRoC economy really TOOK OFF after they embraced capitalism?
Seriously, the Russians tried State Run Communism and for MUCH longer than the ChiComs did. And it did NOT work. The Cubans have been doing it for almost as long as the Russians did, AND it hasn’t worked.
Immelt makes me glad I no longer work for G.E., even if I was a lowly contractor.
