Carrier Corp. has agreed to keep in Indiana roughly half of the 2,100 jobs it had planned to shift to Mexico, after a lobbying effort from the incoming Trump administration.

I’d like to know the terms. Obama was good at giving just about everything to companies, only to see them leave any way.

I’m thinking, with Trump it’s, tax reduction and regulation reform and looking long term.

[kelly4c]

So not only are they coming here to either live off our tax money OR take our jobs, but our business owners are also ripping jobs away from us and giving to them instead. Boy, and they say it’s the white male that’s privileged.

Big WIN 1,000 US families > zerObamma Carrier families

PS: trump/pense don’t take office till Jan 2017.

PPS: how many rounds of golf did obammy get in over the weekend?

PPPS: where did moochele take her mom & kids for thanksgiving weekend vacation?

Bonus: what kinda carbon footprint did her vacation leave?

....Obama didn’t even try.

[FreedomStar3028]

He’s not even President yet, either.

[SoFloFreeper]

Half of the jobs slated to be moved were white collar? I’d be surprised.

[StAnDeliver]

Watching the IndyStar lose their bowels over having to praise President Trump is perhaps the best part so far...literally quoting the union guy twice in order to make him look small...

[Lalle]

Donald has not even moved into the White House yet and already get things done.

Obama is really low-energy.

[Sacajaweau]

Not a win?? 1000 families probably disagree with you, newbie.

I used to work for RCA in Indiana back in 1982.
There were buildings (mostly now gone) where, at one time all of the color televisions manufactured in the entire world were made here in Indiana. The oldest buildings in Bloomington were used to build radios for the WWII effort.
Now, nothing.....

He isn’t even inaugurated and we are already winning.

>> rejuvenate the oil industry in the country

$80+/bbl. oil is what will rejuvenate the oil industry.

[jmaroneps37]

Of course this was a great victory for America brought to us by our choice for POTUS Donald J. Trump (that sounds so good) but the bigger picture is even better because of the way it was achieved by “roll up your sleeves hard work.” Trump will do the hard work that no Democrat or Republican would have even attempted.

[Phillyred]

Yes we can!

[RoseofTexas]

To all of those Carrier's employees...MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄..you still have a job! THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!🎁

Free Traitors™ will tell you:

1. A TV made in the USA would cost $15,000
2. This is a good thing.
3. These jobs are "not coming back"
4. Tariffs are evil
5. Suck it up.
6. Retrain as a brain surgeon

[DoughtyOne]

That’s for sure...

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks. Excellent read...

Seems so reasoned.b why can’t Leftists grasp this stuff, unless hobbling the US is the goal.

[ridesthemiles]

What if NO jobs are going to Mexico? What if Trump promised them loans to increase the use of robots & other machines to reduce the number of people jobs needed? Auto assembly lines don’t use near the humans they did years ago.

So- perhaps NO jobs are going to Mexico, and automation will reduce the jobs to 1000. Such reductions are not wonderful for the 1000 let go, but they might also be offered retraining for new jobs.

will not happen anytime soon unless OPEC rolls over and dies.
