You, ekg are correct! I did get the wrong numbers, and you accurately saw where I got them. So you get a cookie. Howey doesn’t since he thought I got the numbers from the Ford section when I did get them from the GM section, but you are correct that I copied the wrong numbers. The correct numbers (from that same section) are 21,000 jobs.
Now, I could wait and wait to see if you guys could figure out on your own why I posted this GM info in this particular thread, but I think that since I’ve emphasized that throughout this post you probably have all the pieces you need to put the puzzle together.
OK well Howey was going in the wrong direction but I’ve given enough clues now. Any guesses?
Oh I knew why you posted it here..I just didn't know why you posted the wrong information... but I'll answer you anyway, it's because you're selling the
'Mitt had to restructure companies at Bain to make them more successful the same way Obama did with GM" line... well you go on with your bad self.. too bad it's apples and oranges, since I would bet Bain did this and fired a whole lot more people than 21,000..
but hey look, you're finally a Mitt-man. I'm happy to see you get behind your Presidential candidate. You never struck me as his kind of guy, but you do waffle a lot so maybe I shouldn't be surprised at your conversion..
