Job creation at its best

By Richard K. Barry 

I wonder if Romney will just lie now about having said we should let Detroit go bankrupt? I'm waiting for it.

Latest news is that GM is announcing the creation of 2,000 new jobs in Michigan, beginning with up to 1,500 at a new information technology center in Warren.

As The Detroit News reports:

It's unclear where GM would add the other 500 jobs, but the state says the innovation center is the first of three projects the company will announce. 

GM will invest $300 million combined for the three. The state said GM plans no major investment spending on the information technology center; it will be housed in an existing building undergoing renovation on the Warren Tech Center campus. 

The center will hire 1,500 new employees within four years and will add to information technology employment already in Warren, Randy Mott, GM's vice president of information technology and chief information officer, said in a Friday interview.

Good call, Mr. President.

  • But Romney has been lying about this for about a year. He's said that Obama did what he (Romney) recommended. He even said (during the Michigan primary) that he would "take some credit" for the GM turn around (I think that's an exact quote).

    If Reagan hadn't closed all the mental hospitals here in California, I'd be worried that I would soon be locked up. This campaign is driving me crazy!

  • Yes, I know he has been lying about it. I'm just waiting for the new lie.
