While California is having a garage sale, Texas is producing more jobs.
No kiddin'....
In a word...Taxes.
Read ‘em and weep, California....
Haha.
Suck it, Kookifornistan.
Isn't that Pelosi's turf?
I think that Toyota's plan to move speaks volumes and will send a message to other companies to move or start their business in Texas.
Wonder what 16 term rat atheist Rep. Pete Stark has to say about Toyota picking up their marbles and leaving Fremont for San Antonio? Crickets.... The East Bay needs a reality check, pronto.
What is happening to California? That’s the second major auto plant this month!
A key House liberal suggested Thursday that party moderates who've pushed for changes in health care legislation are "brain dead" and out for insurance company campaign donations. Moderate Blue Dog Democrats "just want to cause trouble," said Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., who heads the health subcommittee on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. "They're for the most part, I hate to say brain dead, but they're just looking to raise money from insurance companies and promote a right-wing agenda that is not really very useful in this whole process,"
In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised that we could see the San Antonio, TX plant expand even further and we could see the Corolla production start there by 2012.
Reality check:
First, Toyota could not keep both plants open given the volume of the Tundra and Tacoma.
Second, if you build pickups....build them in Texas because that state/region buys more pickups than any other.
Third, the Corolla is made in Canada, so the California plant was pointless and outdated.
Fourth, who wants to keep a plant open in the most car-hostile state in the nation?
Good Morning! I’m still around. Thought I’d ping ya’.
Fifth, taxes are much lower in Texas.
Sixth, Texas is a right to work state, so screw the unions!
Good! I hope California suffers for all the disasters that the state has placed on the rest of the country.
That is already being talked about this morning on moving the Corolla production up in Canada down here.
The plant here can produce 160,000 trucks a year without running a second shift. With adding the Tacoma, they hope to put out 180,000 trucks so I'm sure that the extra $100 Million Toyota is going to put into the plant here, the Corolla production will be in those plans.
California is hostile to business in general.....
Pelosi, Feinstein and Boxer tried to bribe Toyota to stay with stimulus money, but failed.
.....on-site suppliers will also be adding new jobs,......
Conversely, California will loose another 1,000 jobs of vendors.
These will be across the board and include all types of administrators, clerks and office types. The California companies will just be gone.
......The East Bay needs a reality check, pronto....
What is really needed is a massively destructive earth quake. That is the only real solution to the plague
Texas is a great refuge right now, but the demographics are going to cause a problem there without action on immigration.
We need to get the borders closed.
