1. Piss on it all you want but I wish to hell our side could take credit.

[Maru Kitteh]

4. Credit for what? What acheivement do you credit Trump with?

[NCTraveler]

11. What are you giving Trump credit for?

To want to take credit, there must be something credit worthy.

13. yep; dems need to get a clue. "those jobs are never coming back" is BS, factually and politically.nt

[kentuck]

2. So, instead of creating 181,000 jobs this month...?

We are now creating 182,000 jobs?

That's not a lot in the scheme of things.

[Travis_0004]

12. Its a lot of you are one of the 1,000 people still employed.

[TheFrenchRazor]

14. yes, and ideally, this should just be the beginning. nt

3. Quid Pro Quo

My bet here is United Technologies (who owns Carrier) will land a sizable DoD/Federal contract in the first few months of 2017 that will more than offset anything they lost in keeping the Carrier facility in Indiana open. I strongly doubt Drumph used the stick approach (e.g. telling UT that its Federal contracts would be at risk if they moved Carrier to Mexico).

OV (Orange Voldemort) hasn't even taken office and already the back door deals are starting. Somewhere, Warren G Harding is smiling that soon he will no longer be considered the most corrupt president in history.

5. in the big picture, we have to somehow create a corporate structure where the executives make out

like bandits no matter what they do, and there's no doubt that Carrier executives will take much of the tax incentives here for themselves.

6. Obama saved 250,000 auto jobs and millions more in the auto supply chain.

This is just BS PR. The current economy is creating 1,000 jobs a day.

8. And he was thanked for it with reelection

[SeattleVet]

7. Great - so he 'saves' about 1,000 jobs.

And as soon as he is sworn in, immediately goes about putting plans into motion that will lay off many thousands more, as he shuts down or reduces as many federal entities (EPA, FCC, Department of Education, VA, NOAA, NASA, etc.) as possible.

He winds up getting praise from the deplorables for both saving jobs and reducing the federal payroll (without mentioning the thousand of additional people that will be out of work).

[TheFrenchRazor]

15. ok, so we call him on that when it happens; it's not either/or. nt

9. Who is going to pay for it?

There are people who are not getting to keep their job and those are some people who will not be getting any help because that is going away. What are the taxes on the workers going to be like?

[Vinca]

10. He's saved them long enough for a nice photo op.
