Leveraging a company to get at its' pension funds is one level of evil...

[WCGreen]

But leveraging a country, that is despicable.

Does anyone really think Romney wont govern as close as he can to the way he ran Bain Capital?

When these guy say that the want to run the country like a business, we should all take cover.

1. reagan said the scariest words were "i'm from the government and i'm here to help you".

if so, what the hell should we think when we hear "i'm from a private equity firm and i'm here to extract a profit"?

[kentuck]

2. Amen to that..

If there is a time in history when we should not want a "businessman" in charge of the government, this is the time.

4. Just look at where Junior's "corporate governance" left us.

Romney is cut from the same cloth.

5. The company I worked for did that a few years ago. We went on strike for a

defined benefit pension fund so our company did a hostile takeover of another company and took the excess funds in their pension to fund ours.

6. It's what they're doing to the USPS

That big fat 75 year funded retiree benefit fund is just ripe for the taking

7. Meg Whitman wanted to do that to California...

We said "no fucking way" and she lost.

The same thing *will* happen to Romney.

It had better.
