Many if not all the companies Bain tossed WERE profitable, steady employers that provided well for the community, and kept up with technologies. Bain came in with their greed, assaults the company with debt and causes them to fall apart. No need for that. |

When I was was moved from Concourse shop in 1999 with the R-68s at well over 400,000 miles that was a management decision based on the overall fleet performance and aligning managers who were being considered for promotion. I was offered Pitkin, East NY or Jamaica. I chose what I did because I wanted a crack at the 44s where no one else had succeeded. I succeeded. I assure you that had I stayed, I would have had another promotion to General Superintendent based partially on that success and the fact that during my tenure, my shop went nearly 2 years without a lost time accident and had one of the highest employee availabilities in the division.Whatever else you and the Bim have concocted in those under-developed organs you call brains, I was highly accomplished and very highly regarded in my field. Much like the other shit you talk, you can't back up your claims and those who have been out to my locations can attest to my technical expertise and the quality of the management style that I employed. Now, if you have anything in the way of documented proof to the contrary, let's post it with your real name. |

Perhaps the subtleties are lost on you, Chris but saving jobs and creating jobs are not the same thing. They are not mutually exclusive either. o'bummer has failed to create an environment where businesses want to invest so jobs are not being created. Instead of giving tax credits for companies that sell solar equipment or electric cars, he chooses two companies that fail. $593 million to Solyndra and $193 to Fisker to build Electric cars in the USA. How many jobs did he create for the $786 million taxpayer dollars? How does a net loss of over 1700 jobs sound? Now as a little bridge to Bain Capital, answer me one question - well two really.1) How much did we give to General Motors that still has not been paid off? 2) How many new jobs did GM create to become more profitable - more accurately, how many jobs did GM have to cut in 2010 and 2011? Bain Capital is not about creating jobs. Bain is about saving companies and maximizing returns for investors. That's called "CAPITALISM". It's not a dirty word and until we elected the current mope, it was actually respectable. When Bain saved companies, it saved jobs. That's not the same as creating them but just as important. When Bethlehem Steel lost the war with Japan and Korea, how many jobs were lost. Wouldn't it have been far better if a company like Bain came in and streamlined Bethlehem Steel and was able to save half of the jobs that were lost? Certainly, the unions weren't interested in trying. So tell me what Bain did that was so bad? Were they not entitled to make a profit. That's what they were in business for. If you owned stock in Bain, or if your 401K was invested there, I'm certain that you'd want them to make every nickel that they could. So to repeat what you said, Chris - "welcome to the real world!" |

If Bain Capital isn't about creating jobs (a point of agreement, BTW) why is Willard claiming his experience there makes him more qualified, on the basis of that experience, to create jobs for all Americans, including those he doesn't like? He has not come out saying he supports equal pay for equal work. That demonstrates he is NOT interested in working to provide jobs for ALL Americans (the President has), as by inference, he thinks women are second class citizens not entitled to equal pay. Otherwise he would be pressing for, through his campaign rhetoric, the initiatives currently in consideration in Congress.Sorry to say, your dog doesn't hunt. Barely gnaws at yer toenails. |

Don't worry I'll respond and I promise it will be a long through explanation of why everything you just said is wrong, and all I have to do is point to wall street to shoot down everything you've said. But I have to go to bed but I'll leave you with this simple point.What the government did is what happens everyday on wall street, people invest in companies, sometimes the companies do well, sometimes they don't. Thats apart of capitalism... something you haven't quite understood yet. Note I never said anything about the Bain Corporation but I'm simply making the point that when companies layoff jobs, or ship jobs to other nations you can't then just turn around and say "high unemployment" Then you got the Bush Tax Cuts extended on the premise that the wealthy would INVEST in companies and startups... I haven't seen it happen. Then you want tax credits when the country is in debt, if you really want to think about a tax break for a company is basically the government making a bet that by giving the company a tax break that they'll do well, hire people and they'll make the money back on the payroll. That doesn't always happen now does it? But its okay for the tax break and the government making a bet but if the government directly gives money to try to create jobs directly its bad. So tell me how CAPITALISM WORKS again, because it seems like you know SOOOOOO much more than I do. |

Perhaps because his entire life hasn't been about Bain Capital. Certainly he's saved jobs at Bain and perhaps Bain itself hired people. Perhaps though as Governor of Massachusetts he created an environment in which businesses grew. BUT to turn your own question around on you, what can o'bummer point to as a success in creating jobs? After all, the unemployment rate has been far higher since he took office. Perhaps you can document a few successes other than Solyndra.Sorry to say, your dog doesn't hunt.

Where does what you said contradict anything I said about Bain Capital, which was what we were discussing?As for the BUSH tax cuts, 2 misconceptions. 1) If the tax cuts were a bad idea, then why did o'bummer embrace them and extend them? If he's a leader and he felt that they were ill-advised, he should have come out and said that he was not extending the BUSH TAX CUTS and this is why. 2) The payroll tax was targeted at the middle class. Since FICA is capped at $106,800 this hardly would have affected those 1%ers anyway but did put a fair chunk of change into the hands of the middle class. Was that a bad thing. Did you bank yours or spend it? |

Posted by Dave on Mon Jun 4 22:32:41 2012, in response to Re: Some facts about Mitt Romney, posted by bingbong on Mon Jun 4 13:27:46 2012. Let's examine some facts.Before Staples opened its first office-supply store, the company's founder, Thomas G. Stemberg, went to Bain for help. Stemberg told Romney that companies were spending more on office supplies than they thought. Romney had his associates do a survey of office managers, then checked the figures against invoices, and found that Stemberg was right. Romney agreed to put $600,000 of Bain Capital money into the new venture, and within a few years, he had made back eight times his money while contributing to the launch of a successful national company. Romney and Co. were "among a handful of venture-capital firms that helped found the Sports Authority" by forking over much-needed cash in exchange for a minority stake, says The Washington Post. At the time, Sports Authority had fewer than 10 stores, and was hungry for money to fuel its expansion. By the time Romney left Bain, Sports Authority had exploded, and employed nearly 14,000 people across the country. Romney's critics have focused on Bain's investment in a now-defunct steel firm, GS Technologies, as the worst kind of private-equity investment. But Bain's "more successful involvement" in another steel company, Steel Dynamics, has gone largely overlooked. The steel industry was hardly a hot startup market in 1994, but Bain saw potential in the company's "mini-mill" as a way to lower costs. Bain invested $18 million, giving others confidence to invest and helping the company reach the $80 million in seed money it needed to get going. Bain sold its stake in 1999 for $104 million, and Steel Dynamics (SDI) has since grown to become the fifth-largest U.S. producer of carbon-steel products. Romney should be eager to talk about Bain and not just because of the firm's 80 percent success rate in driving up revenue at the companies it acquires. Romney should be most proud of his own success in building Bain Capital from scratch into a successful organization with a great reputation that met a significant payroll and provided a service on which the economy absolutely depends. Over 28 years, the firm has boosted income at the companies it backed by $105 billion, creating thousands upon thousands of jobs. To attack Bain, you have to attack all of private equity. |

Bain is about saving companies and maximizing returns for investors.Yes, I don't agree and definitely yes. Bain capital is a company that is trying to make itself money. Whoever is in charge of Bain capital is responsible for that ONLY, not creating jobs, not saving companies, not any of that. They're in it to produce returns for their investors, period. Whether or not Bain created jobs is irrelevant. I might disagree with the methods, but the rules of the game let companies like Bain do this all the time. Romney was successful in achieving his goal at Bain. Why would you not want that guy working for you? If you wanted to protect your company from guys like Romney, wouldn't it help to have a guy like Romney working for you? |

Cause Congress was stalling the government, and by extending it, when it comes time to extend it before it dies on December 31st of this year theres not a damn thing that congress can do to stop it from expiring if Obama loses the election because with Obama being a lame duck he can fuck over the Republicans hard by letting all the tax breaks expire and then the automatic spending cuts kick in. So that by 2022 that debt will go from 75% to 62% in other words the national debt would decrease significantly. In other words if you vote Obama out of office, you let Obama detonate his nuke which leaves Republicans fucked with a fiscal policy they wanted that leaves them locked unless they want to spend and tax cut which INCREASES the debt.Now you know why Obama let the tax cuts continue because in the end, it shows that the wealthy wont invest in the US and that if he loses the election he still wins. How's that? Did you like that? Vote Obama out of office and you get the biggest tax increase and the deepest budget cuts in US history. Everything that you want... oh yeah and the US growth stops immediately :) Enjoy the nuke. |

You have a "problem" with Mitt Romney being in government because he represents everything you oppose, right or wrong. Why should it matter that he's a religious leader? |

You knew that this was going to be a consequence of obummercare. Why are you so surprised? Obummercare was paying companies not to cancel their health coverage for their employees. And how many companies actually offer healthcare to part timers? That evil enemy of all liberals (walmart) did. |

I disagree with your analysis but you never did answer my question. Did you spend your payroll tax cut or did you save it?By the way, your "scorched earth scenario" if o'bummer loses the election is very telling of the character of the man. He'd fuck the entire country to get even for not electing him - including the millions who did vote for him. Is that the character of the man that you support for president? DO you really want such a hateful, vengeful person? |

We are still waiting for your attribution for the claims that you made about BMW moving to Detroit because the people in South Carolina are untrainable. As I recall - I've made this request several times before. |

Target starts part timers at .50 to 1.00 over minimum depending on experience. Tell me who pays better mathboy. |

The fact is that I knew you made that up and couldn't document it. It was evident from the moment that you posted it and I posted the proof that you were wrong. I'm still going to remind you whenever its appropriate. |
