Yep, it's "quixotic" to not except an offer you can't refuse.
Rationalize if you will, but "To suggest otherwise" in this case is simply a desire for adherence to founding principles.
It is not OK for the president to prime the pumps of select companies. And it helps neither Trump nor America in the long run to pretend otherwise.
Carrier is not a national security interest and even the number of jobs involved is quite statistically insignificant. It was a photo-op of a deal. Only 999 more "select" deals like this and we might bribe a single million jobs from fleeing conditions which could instead be improved for ALL businesses the correct way in a matter of months.
There is nothing special about this "transition period" that requires us to abandon primary principles before Trump even takes office and we see what can be accomplished via solid constitutional and free market principles.
No man is perfect. And you don't make a mostly good man better by applauding his mistakes.
I don't mind if you wish to call me quixotic, but keep in mind I did just vote for the incoming anti-Quix.
Thanks for your courtesy. Correct me if I’m wrong but there is no evidence that Trump did anything except explain the changes he was planning to put in place in the economy. The tax rebate was from Indiana and was on the table before Trump got involved. The combination of Trump’s plan to correct the business environment, his plan to favor US companies and Indiana’s offer swung the deal. What part of this was wrong on Trump’s part?
If talking to that CEO to keep jobs in America was wrong because he didn’t personally call every company than I think that is very poor logic.
The State of Indiana decided it was in their state’s best interest to offer a ‘tax’ incentive to keep this plant in Indiana. Rationally speaking, that is.
