You are equating 2 completely different things. The American auto industry was about to vanish, it had no choice but to agree to the government's terms as part of a deal. Carrier was doing fine and negotiated itself a special deal. They backed out of one sweetheart deal the government made with them under Pence's watch and used jobs as leverage to get themselves a better one, though there's no reason to think they won't back out again. 1300 jobs leaving, 800 "saved" that can leave anytime, and big rewards from the government. Carrier must have some great negotiators.Yeah GM was about to vanish as a company and was required to restructure and is now reporting record profits and employing countless Americans. Carrier just gets straight up bribe money for jobs it can still send away whenever it wants, and is sending away most of them anyways. Crazy stuff.Not even President but already promising favors to a company still sending 1300 American jobs away.You are comparing a President to someone who hasn't even been inaugurated yet? That spells DESPERATION
Buy yea, I see what you are saying. I personally LOVE obamas retail economy. Who doesn't want a career at Old Navy or Burger King?
I know...it's terrible.
Of course, Obama's bailout of GM is still hailed as the greatest.
Thanks for acknowledging that Obama bailed out GM so he save jobs.
Of course, Obama did nothing for the small businesses that were going under.
I guess there were not enough votes.
You are right.
GM should have been allowed to go under. It would have followed the normal economic destruction of poor performers. Instead, it was saved and insulated. As I understand it, it is now paying less to it's union workers than the non-union plants in the south. But profits are at a record.....so someone is getting wealthy. Of course, the original shareholders were totally screwed.
I think there is plenty of reason to expect that the government will make this harder as they start to screw with tarrifs.
I am no fan of Trump, but he is being proactive.
Obama simply saw a chance to buy votes.
