The Daily Quote
“When President Obama visited General Electric’s sprawling, red brick engine factory here in January 2014, he praised it as a sign that manufacturing in America could have a promising future… On the morning of Sept. 28, however, the Waukesha plant manager gathered the workers on the floor and told them the factory would be shut down. G.E., he said, had decided to shift production of the industrial engines — and the workers’ jobs — to Canada… The Waukesha factory workers feel that their jobs are being lost to forces beyond their control. ‘We’re the hostages in this fight,’ said Scott Schmidt, 43, a machinist and 20-year employee. When the workers assembled last month, they were told the Waukesha factory was being shut down because Congress had failed to fund the Export-Import Bank, which plays a small but often crucial role in America’s export trade. Conservative Republicans have singled out the bank as a symbol of ‘corporate welfare,’ saying it hands out generous subsidies, especially to big companies like G.E. This year, House Republicans blocked a vote to renew funding for the bank.” - New York Times, 10/25/2015
