I appreciate your response.
You are right.
For me this is one of those, “So what would it take? Moments”, if what has taken place still hasn’t made it clear.
Federal, state (or local), it doesn’t matter. When government makes a deal with an individual company, that’s crony capitalism.
Whether it’s state or federal also doesn’t matter regarding your incorrect statement re Reagan.
so you thinks it’s fascist to try to keep American industry from moving overseas? if a compny has govt contracts, I have no prob w trump saying, if you leave your contracts are over
the GOP has shown no concern about the offshoring of American industry for the past 30 years. But there’s a different breed of republican in charge now, and things are looking up. My condolences if that upsets you
and will probably end up in the soup!
I'll join you.
your examples aren’t the same thing as closing a factory in the US, firing us workers, and moving it to a low wage country. GOP “free market” non-patriots haven’t had any problem with this for years - and the party wondered why it couldn’t win states like pa and mich.
Trump won these states
My examples are taking jobs and wages away from US hospitality and other workers. If employers aren’t free to hire abroad, neither should regular Americans—and that’s what traveling and moving abroad does.
Nothing better about factory workers than service workers.
you’re perfectly displaying the globalist mentality that led to consistent GOP defeat , until trump came on the scene. “let u.s, workers eat cake”
No, I don’t. You apparently have a weak understanding of the dynamics involved.
I’ll join you.

great! Jump on in. the broth is fine!
Of course they can. Obama can also apparently stop legitimately approved oil pipeline products.
The question is what is the correct conservative thing to do, not what you “can” do.
A system that offers certain companies tax benefits based on their political connections or political value is the heart of “crony capitalism”, something Sarah Palin has spoken strongly against. Markets work best when there is a level playing field, where you make money based on the free exchange of goods and services, not by threatening to move jobs to Mexico, or giving money to the right politicians.
The “you” in this case is Mike Pence. He is the guv of Indiana.
Trump is not even in office. Trump’s contribution is the promise of much, much lower Federal taxes and much lower regulation costs.
And FWIW, I don’t really care what Palin has to say about economics, though I do give her much credit for recognizing the value of Trump early on
