1,100 jobs saved.

A plant that would have closed will undergo over $16 million in renovations.

Supply chain jobs saved—other small companies, restaurants,material suppliers, truckers,service providers of all types.

All because Donald Trump heard a young man’s statement on TV, and then Trump picked up the phone and called Greg Hayes of UTI.

I am glad that Trump made a point of his inspiration of Carrier.

He speaks of a world many know.

I'm glad Trump did this. But the hidden costs of keeping these jobs will have to be paid for with:

Federal and State Tax Revenues
Incrementally higher costs for Carrier products

Multiplied by a factor of 1 these will hardly be noticed.
Multiplied by a factor 10,000 your pocket book will start to notice.

Is it worth it?
Maybe. Probably. Most Freepers believe so. Full or at least fuller employment is a benefit to a society that cannot simply be measured in dollar and cents terms.

But a certain benefit of keeping the jobs at home (despite the somewhat higher prices we will pay) is the fun of watching the Dems suffer the angst that results as they watch the Trump political stock grow. And grow. And grow.

It's your bed Dems. You made it. Sweet dreams.
