I'm no fan of GE, nor the banks that got bailed out, but it isn't their fault that the country is in the shape it is in. It seemed to me that the author of the article was trying to lay the blame somewhere other than where it belongs and that is on the Obamanation and the Dumycrat Congress. By the way, some of those banks etc. that were bailed out, have paid it all back with interest. At least that is what has been reported.
