sweeping tax cut to zero, broad sweeping removal of regulations for all commerce, and support a hands free approach to commerce. Any incremental steps in this direction, I will cheer. And in fact, I am cheerful of the tax breaks that Carrier got in this deal.

But, if there are things at play besides the tax cuts, then there is nothing to cheer about convincing a company against its better judgment (pre-govt force) to stay in the US just for purpose of saving "jobs". And that mentality is not a change from previous administrations; it's been the dominant mentality for centuries.

     It's a shortsighted deal - Ferg STL - 12/3 11:19:34
          Yeah, I don't think those numbers are correct - Sal KC - 12/3 12:11:04
               1100 workers staying out of 2400 - JG MU - 12/3 13:19:29
                    2100 were moving, not "at risk". (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 15:31:55
                         2400 and from an American POV - JG MU - 12/3 16:44:22
               it's an odd reaction, isn't it? (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 12:40:06
          Only Indiana made a tax deal, there aren't 330,000,000 - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 11:45:41
     Why did donald cut a deal with Carrier to move 600 jobs to - tigerdb MU - 12/3 10:50:32
          Because anecdotes (no matter that over half - JG MU - 12/3 11:01:01

                    With the exception of the workers in question and their - JG MU - 12/3 12:34:05
                         how is that? (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 12:40:29
                              Well those workers keep their jobs - JG MU - 12/3 12:41:58
                                   Yes, how does it hurt others elsewhere - other than - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 12:42:45
                                        higher prices - JG MU - 12/3 13:04:41
                                             higher prices for what? carrier just saved 7 million in - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 14:22:21
                                                  air conditioners - JG MU - 12/3 18:03:57
                    so you like the government dictating operational strategy - Ferg STL - 12/3 11:21:49
                         dictate? Carrier could have opted to move the position - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 11:46:20
                              They're moving 600; were never going to move 300 of those - tigerdb MU - 12/3 11:50:40
                                   what are you talking about? UTX planned to move 2100 - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 11:56:39
                                        trump "saved" 800 - claimed 1,100 Carrier jobs; - tigerdb MU - 12/3 12:18:44
                                             so you agree 800 jobs are staying. fine (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 12/3 12:38:43
          Probably only needed one photo op (nm) - ummmm MU - 12/3 10:51:42
