GE moving X-ray business to China. What message is sent to U.S.?
Here is more evidence of the suicide mission this country is on: General Electric announced it’s moving its 115-year-old X-ray business from Waukesha, Wisconsin to Beijing, China.
The X-ray business is part of General Electric’s GE Healthcare unit, and this move is just part of a broader plan by GE to invest $2 billion in China.
This will become the first GE business to be headquartered there. A handful of the unit’s top executives will be transferred to China but otherwise, the company says, none of the 150 staffers in the Milwaukee-area facility will lose jobs or be transferred. However, GE plans to hire more than 65 engineers and a support staff at a new facility in China.
It’s the kind of news that makes you want to reach for something sharp and jab it in your eye. General Electric’s Chief Executive, Jeffrey Immelt, is one of President Obama’s advisers on… ready? U.S. job creation!
And now… the rest of the story. …..

Barack Obama and Jeffrey Immelt of G.E. are doing a fine job it seems. On one hand Obama whines and yells to us about “job creation” and then turns around, pats old Jeff on the a$$ and they ship off a couple more hundred jobs to China. Both seem to love Communism in your eyes!
