Great so we lost 1000 jobs and gave the first of many million dollar tax breaks.Indiana and Carrier made the agreement and Trump was instrumental to getting it done.
Carrier: State 'incentives' key to jobs deal
Carrier is getting a modest $7 million in financial incentives over the next 10 years from the state of Indiana to keep 1,000 jobs at an Indianapolis plant, sources familiar with the deal tells CNN.
That is just a fraction of the estimated $65 million a year it expected to save if it had moved those jobs to Mexico. It suggests that the incentives cited by Carrier were not the only factor in its decision to stay put.
The company will get $500,000 per year in state income tax refunds, as long as it keeps at least 1,069 manufacturing jobs in the state.
How do we pay our bills if we give millions of dollars in tax breaks to EVERY corporation.
Looks like Trump's thinking about jobs staying in America. obama or clinton would have spent that money on bringing muslim refugees here. That's a far greater cost.
I knew Trump was fudging the numbers.
Jones has been pointing out since last week that not all of the jobs Carrier is talking about had been slated for Mexico in the first place.
“The actual number of jobs saved is 730 bargaining unit jobs ― the workers, the union members ― and another 70 office, supervisory clerical workers from management,” Jones said on CNN Wednesday. “And what they are doing is counting in 350 some-odd more that were never leaving this country at all.”
The company has not contradicted Jones’ explanation, and neither did Trump.
So Trump didn't save 1000 jobs. I claimed earlier that Carrier probably already had planned to send half of the jobs to Mexico, not all of them, so this whole "trump saved 1000 jobs" bs is just that, bs. The company basically sent just as many jobs as they wanted to Mexico. But with the spin it looks like Trump did something. What he did was lose some jobs to Mexico. How many? Lets say 1000. Since he can make up numbers so can we.
Oh so you would rather those jobs weren't saved?? You'd rather all those people lost those jobs??
Good to know asshole.
Na, but maybe telling the truth about what was really done would be good.
Do you see how these rwnj's think? They really believe we would rather the jobs not be saved. Yea, that's it.
How do you reason with people like this?
Oh well. America elected these assclowns so we are stuck with them at least 2 years. Trump 4.
