    Been since July. Meanwhile back then he relentlessly criticized HRC for going months without a presser.

    Trump says the US needs to stop getting involved in foreign wars / foreign intervention
    Preposterous!!! Compete madness!!!
  • President-elect Trump relentlessly criticized that person named Hillary because she thought her work was done and would just walk right into the office come election night.
    Meanwhile your next POTUS still controls the media and gets his message through.
    It truly is astounding.
    That person named Hillary is completely forgotten and is but a dustball.

    Sounds like a policy that Russia would love for us to have.
    In spite of populist belief, we live in a globalised world. And there's no putting that cat back on the bag.

    It confirms what we all already knew.. there's no such thing as a set of principles, not just by politicians, but by the public as well. You would expect those results to be completed inverted between Dems and Republicans had Obama done the same.

    At the end of the day, the long term effect of this 'tax break' on the Carrier deal is that it will speed up the overall automation and robotics replacement. In other words, in 5 years, rather than the job having moved to Mexico, it will just be gone period. There is no saving low skill manufacturing jobs..there's only delaying the inevitable.

    These specific low skill manufacturing jobs will be gone....

    Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
    Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
    They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks

    Well good, you were supposed to hear him and you've never heard me at all.

    Well that really depends on his policies and how long the effects take to materialize. If he plays political expediency and thinks that he is doing favors by giving tax breaks to keep low skill jobs here, then that's a mistake. If he does that while simultaneously investing in STEM and working to reshape the cost curve of a college tuition, then that would be good. So who knows. His current tactic of just short term deal making is not the solution.

    His current term of short term deal making has been proven and true.

    Lost. Low skill manufacturing jobs left and will continue to leave.
    Maybe trump university will train people for the jobs of the future.
    Seriously though, this asshole failed at selling steaks and liquor to Americans.

    Did he?
    All the world knows of Trump steaks and liquor.

    Has been proven to what? Exist? Proven to create long term, sustainable jobs in a thriving industry? Or was it proven that Carrier receives 10% of its overall revenue from government contracts and the CEO said he wasn't "born yesterday" and knew that would be in jeopardy?

    Greg Hayes, CEO of United Technologies, told CNBC yesterday: 'I was born at night, but it wasn't last night. I also know that about 10 per cent of our revenue comes from the US government.'

    Okay, we're having another one of those nonsensical conversations.

    No.
    I was referring to Greg Hayes, CEO of United Technologies, told CNBC yesterday: 'I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.

    So do you think short term tax breaks to keep companies here is the long term answer to creating an economy for the future?

    Baby steps.

    Which, again, will accelerate the overall elimination of those jobs completely. I'm not sure how those are 'baby steps'.
    Here's a smoking gun for you, this was a different interview:

    GREG HAYES: Right. Well, and again, if you think about what we talked about last week, we're going to make a $16 million investment in that factory in Indianapolis to automate to drive the cost down so that we can continue to be competitive. Now is it as cheap as moving to Mexico with lower cost of labor? No. But we will make that plant competitive just because we'll make the capital investments there.

    JIM CRAMER: Right.

    GREG HAYES: But what that ultimately means is there will be fewer jobs.

    Can you give us an estimation of how many people you've sexually assaulted?
