Romney’s Bain Profited Even As The Companies It Invested In Went Bankrupt, Analysis Reveals

Mitt Romney has argued that his business experience as head of Bain Capital from 1984 to 1999 will help him turnaround the economy, reduce the debt and place the nation on a sustainable economic footing. In fact, Romney’s years in the private sector are the centerpiece of his presidential campaign and a way for the candidate to distinguish himself from President Obama.
“Twenty five years in business, including business with other nations, competing with companies across the world, has given me an understanding of what it is that makes America a good place to grow and add jobs, and why jobs leave America – why businesses decide to locate here, and why they decide to locate somewhere else,” the former Massachusetts governor told TIME’s Mark Halperin last month. “I happen to believe that having been in the private sector for twenty-five years gives me a perspective on how jobs are created – that someone who’s never spent a day in the private sector, like President Obama, simply doesn’t understand.”
But that business record has come under attack, first from Romney’s opponents in the Republican presidential primary and later from the Obama campaign — all of whom claimed that Bain focused more on increasing profits than creating jobs. Now, a New York Times analysis reveals that the private equity firm made money even as the companies it invested in went bankrupt and employees lost their jobs and livelihoods:

The private equity firm, co-founded and run by Mitt Romney, held a majority stake in more than 40 United States-based companies from its inception in 1984 to early 1999, when Mr. Romney left Bain to lead the Salt Lake City Olympics. Of those companies, at least seven eventually filed for bankruptcy while Bain remained involved, or shortly afterward, according to a review by The New York Times. In some instances, hundreds of employees lost their jobs. In most of those cases, however, records and interviews suggest that Bain and its executives still found a way to make money. [...]

Bain structured deals so that it was difficult for the firm and its executives to ever really lose, even if practically everyone else involved with the company that Bain owned did, including its employees, creditors and even, at times, investors in Bain’s funds. [...]

In four of the seven Bain-owned companies that went bankrupt, Bain investors also profited, amassing more than $400 million in gains before the companies ran aground, The Times found. All four, however, later became mired in debt incurred, at least in part, to repay Bain investors or to carry out a Bain-led acquisition strategy.

On Thursday, the Washington Post reported that Bain also invested extensively in companies that moved jobs overseas to low-wage countries like China. The practice contradicts the rhetoric of candidate Romney, who since announcing his presidential ambitions, has criticized government policies that have led to jobs, particularly those in manufacturing, moving offshore

And the US Government made up of all parties had nothing to do with outsourcing? It's not just Global trade anymore it's theft of the US middle class!

While your being sent to war the Visa workers will be eating your lunch!

Politicians make up the gov thank them for outsourcing your jobs!

Anonymously is what you think however they know your real screen name dummies!

MrDoughnut, that clown is a paid board poster/disrupter. He's been doing it for years now. A long time ago he actually admitted he gets his talking points in his email every morning on how to answer any questions etc. that might come up against the Dems. He gets paid for posts and also gets paid for responses.

You claiming that the person who posted what disturbs you is a paid poster does not debunk what he posted . Try using facts when faced with something you disagree with, just saying that it's a lie says more about your lack of comprehension skills than anything else . Or you can try posting cartoons to prove your point , which is what most AVP'ers used to do .

Stop using 25 different screen names to get your sorry ass point across. Jerkoff!!!!!!!!!!
