I don’t totally agree with her on this. I think what Trump is doing is rolling back the Obama regulations including those of the EPA that put the hurt on businesses. This will be good for all the companies and not just for Carrier.

From what I read the $7 million over 10 years was already on the table from the state of Indiana. There may be other things we do not know about but overall I think it is a win-win.

Not only Carrier will have jobs saved but the support and supply companies will also have jobs saved. I also believe this will affect the local retailers as well.

Yes, Pence was the father of this deal. Trump was the midwife. Pence did what 49 other governors do or try to do. I generally don’t like these kind of deals because the tax revenue benefits rarely exceed the cost to the state of the subsidies or tax breaks. Plus, they create an incentive for every other company in the state to demand some similar concession. But my back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest to me that the Carrier deal might be a good one for the state.

Reading the hypocrite “Conservative” Free Republicans complaining that corporation was offered a deal stay in America is priceless. Next the will say cutting taxes is bad to keep companies from off shoring.
