Indiana should just buy Carrier outright and keep those jobs forever! As it is now, a New Deal will have to be negotiated every 4-8 years.
You are talking out of your hat.
Indiana is the one that made the deal. If the climate for business improves in the US companies will not need a sweetener to say. It will be in their self interest.
So many of the comments on this thread are disheartening because they show no grasp of economics and muddle the dialog. The Government is not the nanny of business and shouldn’t be put in the position of treating every business equally. Right now Government’s relationship with business is unutterable, hire only minority, female or LGBT owned corporations to do Gvt work??><{)*+_*^D
The Government needs to set the stage for businesses to succeed by removing excessive regulations, allowing energy independence, lowering taxes and promote repatriation of capital. Revitalizing infrastructure will help as well. These are things that are done for all businesses.
If the Gvt needs to prime the pump by reaching out to select companies in this transition period it should. To suggest otherwise is quixotic. Just like suggesting that if Carrier moves to Mexico some other business will magically appear to take its place (capital?, experience, name recognition?) Or the equally ridiculous assertion that Indiana should go into the air conditioning business.
