The plant is just a sliver compared with the nearly 16 million new jobs generated under Obama as he guided the country out of the worst economic crisis since the Depression.
That's so cute... they think we actually believe that sh@#.
Let's see...
The Carrier news was a BIG blowup in national news, a hot button topic used as an example. Trump knew this, and that's exactly why he chose THIS situation. This has scored more points for him so far than anything else he's done in the past 18 months.
While the entire spectrum of media have been whining about greedy, rich, corporate bastards doing it for no other reason than to make an extra 50 cents, conservatives have been telling them this is a direct result of leftist policy.
1) unions who think they are entitled. 2) High corporate AND personal state and federal taxes 3) Burdening regulations (and not in that order).
You said it was all lies, that it was all about greed.
ONE man, that man being Donald Trump, promised them (not just Carrier, but all the producers and employers in this country) that he was going to do everything within his abilities to fix as much of that as he could. And companies are now starting to believe him. He doesn't even take the reigns for another 5 weeks and he's ALREADY making a crater-sized impact on the liberal fantasy world.
While profit margins ARE the bottom line, leftists made it increasingly difficult to stay alive as a company, impossible in many cases.
NO American company WANTS to leave this country and move to freekin Mexico. But if they are to remain relevant on the global stage of trade, the decision is often to either fold up, or take drastic measures in order to stay alive.
The Carrier incident is far from unique. Trump just obliterated the ENTIRE economic ideology that Obama and media friends have been selling as a winning plan for 8 years. and I am all but certain the left is all pissed off mainly because it was a direct hit, midship, to the bullshit line they have been crafting for almost decades. SHATTERED by Trump in one solitary press release.
What I really love is that Trump didn't stop there, he went out to the plant and exploited it to it's fullest extent, for the sole purpose of pouring salt in their wounds. They cannot stand that his policy is already working and humiliating their saviors in office. Obama is not only a lame duck, he's irrelevant now. Humiliated in the most public fashion possible.
Face it, leftists... he's got your number. He's not what you are used to. He isn't following the play book and he never will. He knows EXACTLY how to humiliate you, and you've got a big heaping serving of it coming. I, for one, hope he is absolutely relentless in completely burning your ideologies to the ground for as long as he holds the floor... punking you are every turn.
