Breitbart ^ | June 2, 2016 | Charlie Spiering

President Barack Obama is giving up on some of the American manufacturing jobs that went to Mexico, telling an Indiana resident that many of those jobs are not coming back. During a town hall in Elkhart, Indiana, Obama was asked a question about manufacturing by a man who was once employed by Carrier Corporation in Indiana before the plant announced plans to move to Mexico.

“What we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back,” Obama said bluntly during the event broadcast on PBS.

Carrier announced in February that it would move 1,400 jobs to Mexico — even after receiving $5.1 million from the Obama administration in clean energy tax credits. Carrier later clarified in a statement that it will not claim the federal tax credit....

Leftists tell you what they fear. This means it is totally possible with the right incentives, tariffs and duties.

It’s basic economics. Unless a company can see the economic benefit of having closed a factory, because it was uneconomic to operate, to reopen, it’s not going to reopen.

But that doesn’t mean that the economy can’t be fixed so new economic opportunities are created.

A 20% tariff would convince them.

Maybe, maybe not. It just means Americans might just pay more for a product no longer made in their country.

It’s not that simple.

It is that simple. Tariffs funded the US government from 1789 to 1913. I ask Free Traitors™ is the de industrialization of the USA acceptable to you? Really?

Free Traitors™ are the tools of Marxists.

obama could not get any job except as puppet. He should just shut up but that is unlikely.
He left the university and no one would hire him as a lawyer which he was going to school for.

Not so long as your thinking is running the economy, dear leader.
