with Romney's Bain Capital
I think the timing is interesting
In 1994, Bain invested in Steel Dynamics, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a prosperous steel company that has grown to the fifth largest in the U.S.A, employs about 6,100 people, and produces carbon steel products with 2010 revenues of $6.3 billion on steel shipments of 5.3 million tons.[43] In 1993, Bain acquired the Armco Worldwide Grinding System steel plant in Kansas City, Missouri and merged it with its steel plant in Georgetown, South Carolina to form GST Steel. The Kansas City plant had a strike in 1997 and Bain closed the plant in 2001 laying off 750 workers when it went into bankruptcy. The South Carolina plant closed in 2003 but subsequently reopened under a different owner. At the time of its bankruptcy it reported $553.9 million in debts against $395.2 in assets. Bain reported $58.4 million in profits, the employee pension fund had a liability of $44 million.
Spoiler Alert *********** don't look below if you haven't seen the movie Dark Knight Rises
Wayne Enterprises goes bankrupt and it is the terrorist Bane that eventually gets control of the company
Bane leads the League of Shadows
The timing is interesting sense Romney's connection with the Bain Capital corporation came at the same time
It is just a coincidence

(7,753 posts)because he could see into the future and knew that in 2012 Romney would be running for President and used to work for a company called Bain?
Makes sense.

hows that
