When my HVAC goes, I’ll definitely look at Carrier first.
Obama is not the blame for higher taxes and regulations. These have been around for ever. Big Caps love regulations because it keeps the upstart riff raff out of the way. Kills competition which is the goal of every corporation.
Carrier, and they are not the only ones to do this by any means, was counting on paying Paco Sanchez $3.00/hr in a newly built state of the art plant in Mexico. Paco was going to live in a un air conditioned pueblo and ride his burrow to work to make, ironically, air conditioners. Paco will thank his gringo masters for not having to go to 'merica do get a job as an illegal. Carrier was cutting Indianan Frank Wilson at 20.00/hr out of the equation. The difference in labor costs to be pocketed by Carrier. Carrier knew it could load their product on a train and ship them duty free because the Uniparty has been bought off.
So the key to globalization and offshoring is to keep those tariffs rates at historic lows. Globalist do this by corrupting the Uniparty via K Street. This is the new fascism.
Unfortunately for them their is new Sheriff in town. Raising tariffs will be the key to the USA' economic survival.
More tariffs and less income taxes.
Something else to consider. It is not just the jobs at Carrier, but the jobs at the companies that Carrier buys from as well. Every manufacturing company has suppliers of products that goes into the construction of the final product.
“...the usual suspects began chattering about corporate welfare, crony capitalism, and the hypocritical picking of winners and losers.”
I just heard that line on Fox News Sunday. They always fail to mention NAFTA, an fatal economic dynamic inserted by the government, not the Free Market.
Was Solyndra a scam? (I don’t know. Just asking.)
Sooo... where’s Sarah?
To put the two together is laughable. For starters, Carrier actually makes things and employs people.
I think that is the point that Sarah (God bless her) is missing.
Solyndra had a product that wasn’t working. That was high risk venture capital. Carrier is a blue chip established firm, with 100 years of history, cash flow and success. This comparison is bogus.
That remains to be seen.
In order for the latter to happen, it's going to take vigilance on the part of Trump non-ass-kissers. If a President can cut a deal with an individual corporation, that is the very definition of cronyism.
The real question is will Ryan and McConnell expand whatever deal Trump cut with Carrier to ALL corporations.
Until that happens, the American Thinker can shove its disdain for the "usual suspects" up its ass.
It's going to take the usual suspects to hold President Trump's feet to the fire.
The MSM had not one word of criticism about Solyndra, even after the officers got the bankruptcy court to give them bonuses. Then the FBI gathered and destroyed all of Solyndra’s records. No corruption here.
