    I'm really glad everyone is offended by tax subsidies for jobs. Now can we solve the problem, bc it has existed for decades?

        More offended by Trump already beginning his "I kept the jobs in America!" campaign built on BS and hyperbole

        How is that different from what every single Gov who engages in it does? Very established tradition of that.

        It's not, I'm just anticipating Trump absurdly inflating record of "saving jobs" and people eating his bullshit by the spoonful

        What prevented Obama from doing that (or Hillary promising that). Wasn't that what Auto bailout became?

        Some really interesting interviews w/UAW members voting Trump bc bailout didn't REALLY save jobs.

        Well, I wonder what effect would have been without bailout but again, don't know enough details to compare that point

        He campaigned for a year+ on levying tariffs on products made by Carrier-type exits. Not on forking over the tax break farm.

        True! So Dems should have an easy time calling him out (except that they engage in similar tax breaks)

        similarly, deficits / tax revs don't matter depending on whether one's political party is in or out of power

        Probably more the tariff tough talk changing to throwing other people's money at job killer threat.

        It's pretty much the entire business model for major commercial construction isn't it? Brooklyn's resurgence is all tax abated.

        "tax subsidies for jobs" covers a lot. Sometimes it is about a city building infrastructure to support a new facility.
