You don't know what you are talking about. Bailout money and stimulus money are two different things. Twist the words to mean what you want and rant on if you wish, but you're wrong.

Call it whatever you want. It does not take away from the fact that it is a travesty seperate tax dollars are being sent to GE. GE is a multi billion dollar conglomerate that does not need to kiss The Obama Administration's ass to get billions of our tax dollars. If GE really wanted to do their projects they would fund them themselves.

I call it what it is. You're the one calling it what you want. Complain all you want about how tax dollars are spent, but don't change the meaning of words for your own purposes.

Yes they will. Non bid government contracts. Just like Halliburton.
Isn't it funny that Halliburton gets destroyed by the media for getting contracts but GE who is just handed billions in cash is pure as the snow on christams morning. Oh thats right GE owns half the media.

Well Bailout and stimulous were defined by the Government. I am intelligent enough to know in this case a major conglomerate getting taxpayer funds is no stimulous it is a clear bailout.
