Enron and the President

This is an interesting bit of information that you don't hear much about in the media ---

a. Enron's chairman did meet with the president and the vice president in the Oval Office.

b. Enron gave $420,000 to the president's party over three years.

c. It donated $100,000 to the president's inauguration festivities.

d. The Enron chairman stayed at the White House 11 times.

e. The corporation had access to the administration at its highest levels

and even enlisted the Commerce and State Departments to grease deals for it.

f. The taxpayer-supported Export-Import Bank subsidized Enron for more than $600 million in just one transaction.

g.. BUT...the president under whom all this happened WASN'T George W. Bush.

SURPRISE ........ It was Bill Clinton!

How about "Hanoi John" and the Heinz 57 companies, many of them overseas. At last count, there are about 22 installations in the US and about 35 installations overseas...cheaper to make products over there (with what labor and under what sanitary conditions?).
Time will only tell how soon the other 22 move offshore.

Actually the count is 22 US factories and 57 foreign factories.
