More ‘free trade’.

They get all our trade and jobs for ‘free’.

It seems to me that these companies are slowly finding out that the rule that you get what you pay for still applies.

I wonder when UT will follow GE’s lead and bail out of CT.

...2,100 workers will be out of a job, two Indiana plants have plans to move operations to Mexico.

2,100+ new Trump voters... Spread the word... we can take back our country - and make it great again.

AND make Mexico pay for the Wall...

I imagine productivity, as well as the quality of the products produced, will soon take a dramatic nosedive.

The cost of government is too high

The Giant Sucking Sound still being heard 21 years after NAFTA passage with no end in sight. Trade deficit with Mexico has grown from nothing to $60 billion plus.

Yep, opening new markets for US products and creating US jobs as promised.

And they’re promising more of the same with TPP.

Now what was/is the pure conservative position on these issues, all you pure conservative scholars?

It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that our overbearing regulatory environment, high taxes/Obamacare and often onerous unions play a part in moves like these. Are companies often too quick to move offshore to improve their balance sheet by taking advantage of lax regulations overseas? Yes. But a lot of them in recent years have had little choice, with the anti-business environment that exists. Some companies have little choice but to move overseas if they want to survive. Both issues have to be dealt with.

The only bright spot is maybe more illegals will stay at home in Mexico instead of heading to USA.

These companies' moves are in a direct response to two things: our government's National, State and Local) taxing companies out of existence and the greed of the union bosses, that insist on "a living wage."

Too bad these companies didn't first attempt to move to a "right to work state" like others have done.

I’m surprised they are not worried about cartels and the lawlessness in Mexico. This article is from 2011. Can’t imagine it’s gotten better.

United Steelworkers president Chuck Jones said Carrier's move is disgraceful considering that
it has been in Indianapolis since the early 1950s. He said the 1,400 affected workers are scared.

Wonder how Bernie, and the rest of them actually, think they’re going to fund their proposals.

I see us either going to 40 trillion in fake money or going into a giant depression that no one can afford to bail out of. The taxpayer base is being destroyed and there aren’t enough billionaires to make up the difference.
