(Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV FCH.MI (FCAU.N) said on Thursday it would invest more than $1 billion in its Michigan plant and add 2,500 jobs as it benefits from the overhaul of the U.S. tax code.

The company said it would spend the money to modernize the Warren Truck Assembly Plant in Michigan to produce its Ram Heavy Duty trucks.

The company will relocate the truck’s production from its current location in Saltillo, Mexico, to the Michigan plant in 202O.

The car maker also said it would make a special bonus payment of $2,000 to about 60,000 FCA hourly and salaried employees in the United States.

Tax code at work.

Look at all the people who have already benefitted.

And don't forget that a lot of ordinary people made some big bucks in the market, too.

I assume the UAW leadership is falling all over themselves trying to be the first to thank the president.

Even other Democrats like Stenny Hoyer think she is a liability.

All we needed to do is replace the OBAMSTER with a real patriot and positive things will happen. Happy to see that the new RAMS will be built in Michigan. I have a Ram built in Mexico and it is in a word 'CRAP'.

How often can and should the GOP, particularly those campaigning for office in 2018 say: “It’s about the economy stupid”? Everyday.

And how about the thousands of jobs that will be created by outside suppliers for those trucks...

Chrysler won’t be building engine blocks, rings, pistons, nuts, bolts, bearings, batteries, and many, many other things that go into making vehicles...Those things are made by outside suppliers...

Nuevo León’s loss is Michigan’s gain. I doubt Fiat would want to get out of a communistic excrement pit like Saltillo just to move to slightly less left wing, slightly less corrupt excrement pit like Detroit if there weren’t some major tax benefits.
