How is this crony capitalism?
Immelt cozies up to Obama, supports and helps to push his policies so as to get preferred statis for any contracts to be doled out by the administration over any other company that might provide the same service or product. It's very simple, GE stands to make billions off of Cap & Trade and Obama's EPA can implement these policies without congresss approval it's not the free market, and its part of whats wrong with our BIG government too much power.
So I am sure you had the same problem as when Cheney held secret meetings with Oil companies..right?
Nope because there is ZERO evidence that any oil company received any government benefit from those meetings. They were held sans press coverage so that the participants could speak freely in a brain storming session. The execs were called in to provide training and input for the Administration in advance of developing an energy policy which frankly sucked and none of the oil companies liked.
And you do know that Halliburton is not an oil company yes?
