The Utterly Crass Immelt

The man's middle name is "Monetize."  And to hold him as a Hero of Capitalism is to hold Goebbels as a Hero of Socialism.

"China is changing," said CBS host Charlie Rose. "It may be being stabilized as we speak. What does that mean for China and what does it mean for the United States? Should it change expectations?"

"It is good for China," said Immelt. "To a certain extent, Charlie, 11 percent is unsustainable. You end up getting too much stimulus or a misallocation of resources. They are much better off working on a more consumer-based economy, less dependent on exports. The one thing that actually works, state run communism a bit– may not be your cup of tea, but their government works."  --quoted at Weekly Standard

Yes, especially in liquidating dealing with "extra" human lives.

If the Left-O-Wacky critics of eeeeeeeeeeeeevil Capitalism have a licit complaint, it is underlined and made operative by Immelt's execrable materialist remark.  The man should be forced to resign.
