    Why are liberals so upset about this deal and not about the $1.7 billion in tax incentives that Jerry Moonbeam Brown gave to the entertainment industry to keep them in Hollywood?

    http://www.laweekly.com/news/165-bil...-shame-5089371

    And how's that worked out for California? Not great. The tax breaks have not created jobs or boosted pay. Other states who tried similar programs found that unemployment actually went down after they got rid of them. Real estate prices and the cost of living in LA continue to be sky-high because of Hollywood, while California continues to have the worst roads in the nation, a failed school system and a massive poverty epidemic.

    At least Trump's deal is helping blue-collar working-class Americans keep their jobs and continue to contribute to society in a meaningful way.
    Damn don't killem CN!

    Heres some humble pie for those hollywood lib s...

    What It Means for Trump to Save 1,000 Jobs in Indiana

    U.S. manufacturing jobs

    2000 17,284,000

    2010 11,460,000↓ 34% since 2000

    2016 12,338,000↑ 8% since 2010

    A loss of five million since 2000

    =============

    Indiana manufacturing jobs

    2000 665,000

    2010 435,000↓ 35% since 2000

    2016 518,000↑ 19% since 2010

    A loss of 147,000 since 2000

    ===================

    All Indiana private-sector jobs


    2000 2,493,000

    2010 2,221,000↓ 11% since 2000

    2016 2,523,000↑ 14% since 2010

    A gain of 302,000 since the lowest point in the recession

    http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...bile.html?_r=1

    +300K private sector jobs under Obama, 300x more than Trash's Tiny Hands.

    Had the Repugs not been implementing sociopathic austerity at all govt levels since 2009, to inflict as much economic pain on citizens, jobs losses would have been less and job gains would have been greater.

    Thanks, Repugs.

    a 1000 jobs have been saved, i'm glad trump changed his mind about making companies pay a tariff if they send jobs to other countries. its going to be interesting seeing the rest of these failing rust belt factories asking for the same deals, though.

    1000 jobs isn't even a big deal to UT (197K employees), and it's trivial compared to jobs even in just Indiana, never mind USA.

    And it wasn't Don The Con's deal, it was Pence spending Indiana taxpayers $$$ that will be "paid for" by cutting most probably Indiana safety net.

    And it's such a ty deal for UT that it UT had rejected it months before. iow, it's "old business". Those jobs will go to MX, sooner or later.

    All y'all Trash fellators been CONNED again.

    Economists Take Shots At Trump After He Bribed Carrier Into Keeping Jobs In The U.S.

    In the long term, Trump's deal with Carrier could do more damage than good.

    "Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers

    Every savvy CEO will now threaten to ship jobs to Mexico, and demand a payment to stay. Great economic policy. "

    Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman also put the Carrier deal into perspective by comparing it to President Obama’s successful auto rescue, which saved over a million jobs. Back then, the same people applauding Trump for “saving jobs” attacked the current president for moving in to save a vital American industry.

    Paul Krugman
    @paulkrugman

    Another metric: Trump would have to do one Carrier-sized deal a week for 30 years to save as many jobs as Obama's auto bailout
    11:47 AM - 30 Nov 2016


    Steven Rattner
    @SteveRattner

    Total Carrier jobs saved: 1,100
    Carrier jobs saved from going to Mexico: 800
    Manufacturing jobs lost this year alone: 62,000

    Rattner also pointed out just how much the economy has improved in Indiana during Obama’s time in office, despite those now saying “finally we have a president (Trump) who will stand up for workers.”Tweet:View image on Twitter

    Steven Rattner
    @SteveRattner


    For all those questioning what Obama ever did for Indiana, here’s Indiana’s jobless rate since he took office:
    2:39 PM - 1 Dec 2016



    Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers

    My latest: In the 2 hours Trump spent flying to Indiana to boast of saving 1,000 jobs, another 6,000 were destroyed.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/01/upshot/trump-and-carrier-how-a-modern-economy-is-like-a-parking-garage.html …

    But as an overall economic policy, as many economic thinkers have pointed out, it’s not clear how smart it was. In fact, in the long term, it could do more damage than good.

    Trash's Carrier scam proves he is a liar and a bad negotiator

    We begin today’s roundup with The New York Times editorial board and its debunking of Donald Trump’s lie that he “saved” American jobs:

    Carrier still intends to send 1,300 jobs to Mexico

    (Mr. Trump said Thursday that more than 1,100 jobs will be saved, but that includes 300 positions that never were scheduled to leave the country).

    Over all, factory employment in Indiana is down by more than 20 percent since 2000; nationwide, it is down by nearly 30 percent.

    Stopping the outsourcing of jobs is a worthy goal, but it does not address the underlying trends in technology and public policy that are behind the demise of blue-collar jobs.

    It would be naïve to believe that United Technologies — which had estimated it would save $65 million a year by moving the Carrier jobs to Mexico — would give in to Mr. Trump without an expectation of something in return. The State of Indiana has reportedly offered the company $7 million in tax breaks over 10 years to keep the jobs in the state.

    In addition, Mr. Trump is expected to ease up on his campaign pledge to slap a 35 percent tariff on Carrier air-conditioners imported from Mexico, a nice concession, given that

    Carrier will still be outsourcing more jobs than it is retaining in the deal.

    Olivia Nuzzi
    at The Daily Beast:

    Back then, he played the tough guy, promising to inflict painful tariffs on the company if they went through with it.
    But in the end, Trump settled on a gentler strategy: allowing Carrier to outsource 1,300 jobs to Mexico in return for 800 jobs remaining in Indiana for economic incentives worth a total of $7 million, negotiated by the vice president-elect, Mike Pence, who for the time being is still the state’s governor and who introduced Trump on Thursday.

    A spokesperson for the Trump transition didn’t respond when asked by The Daily Beast if Carrier would still be penalized for the 1,300 jobs they are outsourcing to Mexico.

    Here’s What You Really Need To Know About Trump’s Carrier Deal


    • Compared to Carrier's 1,000 jobs, Obama's auto bailout saved something like 250,000 jobs at GM and Chrysler, and 1-2 million total jobs throughout the entire automotive supply chain. Just sayin'.
    • Needless to say, showering incentives on manufacturing companies to stay in America is not a sustainable national manufacturing strategy. And anyway, aren't Republicans opposed to the government picking winners and losers?


    • Just for the record, the biggest supplier of working-class and middle class jobs in Indianapolis is not Carrier—or any other heavy manufacturing company. The top ten are Eli Lilly, Indiana University, Purdue University, St. Vincent Hospital, St. Francis Hospital, CNA Financial Group, Methodist Hospital, the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital, Roche Diagnostics, and FedEx.

    "Democratic leaders want to use $25 billion of the $700 billion financial industry bailout to help General Motors, Ford Motor and Chrysler.

    Senators Richard Shelby of Alabama and Jon Kyl of Arizona said it would be a mistake to use any of the Wall Street rescue money to prop up the automakers. They said an auto bailout would only postpone the industry’s demise.

    “Companies fail every day and others take their place. I think this is a road we should not go down,” said Mr. Shelby, the senior Republican on the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee.


    “They’re not building the right products,” he said. “They’ve got good workers, but I don’t believe they’ve got good management. They don’t innovate. They’re a dinosaur in a sense.”


    Mr. Kyl, the Senate’s second-ranking Republican, added, “Just giving them $25 billion doesn’t change anything. It just puts off for six months or so the day of reckoning.”


    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, said over the weekend that the House would provide aid to the ailing industry, though she did not put a price on her plan.


    “The House is ready to do it,” said Representative Barney Frank, the Massachusetts Democrat who chairs the House Financial Services Committee. “There’s no downside to trying.”


    But Democrats have only a narrow majority in the Senate, and President Bush opposes the idea.

    That raises the possibility that any help for automakers will have to wait until 2009, when President-elect Barack Obama takes office and the Democrats increase their majority in the Senate.

    I never said that it was without meaning. I said it was insignificant once you understood the denominator. Try and keep up, dim.

    Human life is infinitely more valuable than a job. Life is not fungible. Jobs are.

    You can go almost infiniely macro on anything I guess. 1000 jobs feels substsntial in my view.

    Job recovery/loss/creation doesn't normally happen in single batches of 100k, imo.

    I'm not infinitely progressing. I stop at the US economy. In 2016 there were 7.8m unemployed.

    If he were to do one such deal every day, he would get the unemployment problem solved in 21 years, 5 months.

    So without meaning and insignificant are not the same things? Fuzzy logic.

    Trump is shocked that Carrier took him literally. That doesn’t bode well for his many promises.

    Trump candidly admitted that he didn't even remember having promised to keep Carrier's jobs in the state and insisted that he hadn't actually meant to make that promise.

    He said something to the effect, 'No we're not leaving, because Donald Trump promised us that we're not leaving,'" Trump said.

    "And I never thought I made that promise — not with Carrier.

    I made it for everybody else. I didn't make it really for Carrier. And I said, 'What's he saying?'"
