Ford says it is creating new jobs in the US

Before he's even taken office, President-elect Donald Trump has proven to be quite the job creator.

Ford Motor Company announced Tuesday it will cancel a $1.6 billion plant planned for Mexico and will instead invest $700 million in a Michigan assembly plant, directly tying the decision to “pro-growth policies” championed by President-elect Donald Trump.

I’m afraid the only way that can happen is in the afterlife, since two of them are dead.

Trump said his friend was working on this Ford mexico project. I wonder what he thinks.

What can you say? Ford will do what is best for Ford, and the idea that reduced corporate taxes, fewer regs etc. making them more competitive is a win win.

For me, seeing “made in China” means it’s crappy.

Seeing, “made in America,” usually means it’s good.

I’m still not tired of winning.

I’m sure that’s part of the price of doing business in mehico.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

There is an existing plant in Flat Rock, which they are adding onto or refurbishing. Mexico is a greenfield project, so it would be more expensive.

Oh oh. I smell a new snowflake “boycott” coming on.

[Red Badger]

Well, there’s Mexico’s first Down payment on The Wall.................
