Seems to be a bit a a shell game here. 1100 jobs saved while 1300 more will be lost. The saved jobs at the expense of the Indiana taxpayers. My commie friend must be thrilled at this new acceptance of government subsidies to ensure corporate viability. Like I wrote yesterday, this will be exploited.
hmmm, I wonder what the taxpayers of Indiana think. Have you ever asked one? It's not corporate viability, it's family viability.We're no longer doing things by the conservative Friedman book. That only works in the long run.
I'm an Indiana taxpayer and have already stated that I'm okay with some of my tax dollars going to help save jobs with the caveat that those jobs are good jobs without massive concessions. I not entirely sure this "deal" reaches that threshold, but we'll see where it goes from here.
I think it is on a national scale a small pageant or pre season exhibition game for the crowds entertainment. But close to home it makes a difference. What I like about Trump is he can do anything from communism to austerity and it makes no difference to him as long as it wins. And unlike the republicans and their "job creators" I don't have to listen to an amateur economics lecture about how it is all going to work out. It probably won't work out, and is probably bad in the long run, but if he can just keep us entertained and inspired until we finally get around to making money again he will have served his inspiring purpose. I was having a messed up day in the mkt and just turned on tv and he is going on about the American Worker like Mao and I just smiled. I need some of that right now. Just a break from all money all the time. I'm supposed to be getting older and crankier and now I'm afraid I'm just going redder and deader.
Trump announces 8,000 more jobs for American workers http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/12/28/trump-announces-8000-more-jobs-for-american-workers.html President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday the addition of roughly 8,000 new jobs for Americans, including 5,000 that telecommunications giant Sprint will bring from “all around the world.” “They’re coming back to the United States, which is a nice change,” he said. Trump, who takes office January 20, said the other 3,000 jobs will be hires from a new company called One Web. Trump was elected in part on the promise to return to the United States jobs that American companies had moved overseas, in search of cheaper labor costs. Last month, he announced that Carrier would keep roughly 1,000 jobs in Indiana, after months of criticizing the air-conditioning corporation on the campaign trail for plans to move the jobs to Mexico. Trump spoke Wednesday from his Mar a Largo estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The wealthy businessman-turned politician also said he had a “nice” and “general” conversation earlier in the day with outgoing President Obama. Trump opposed the Obama administration’s move last week to allow the United Nations to pass a resolution condemning Israel for building more settlements in the disputed West Bank. He said Secretary of State John Kerry’s speech earlier Wednesday defending the administration’s U.N. decision “spoke for itself.” Trump, who in recent days has been especially critical of the U.N., also said that the international body “has tremendous potential but is not living up to itself.” Trump added he had help on the jobs deals from several people including Massayoshi Son, the chief executive officer for SoftBank of Japan, which owns Sprint. Trump has had previous business dealings with Son, whom he described on Wednesday as a “terrific guy.”

400 jobs going to Mexico is better then 1400 jobs going to Mexico. Wait until the tariff. That's where the shit starts. This is just the beginning. Dereg. Tax cuts. Cheaper energy. Tariffs. Not one of those have been implemented yet. Just talk.
So true. The conservative purity test is no longer in play. Sorry George Will, but you never convinced people to vote for your brand of purity. Trump recognizes life is tribal and getting more so. Winning is more important than approval by the National Review. Like Pat Buchanan said a while back, economic efficiency is not a religious tenet. All things equal, yes, it is a worthy ideal but life is messy and things are never equal. Free trade and open borders have killed the American working class.
