President-elect Donald Trump and Carrier have reached a deal that will keep nearly 1,000 factory jobs in Indiana, the company said on Tuesday.
Carrier poses an early critical test for Trump, who promised during the campaign to keep American jobs from fleeing to Mexico.


Trump and Mike Pence, the vice president-elect and current governor of Indiana, will be in Indiana on Thursday to announce the deal, Carrier said.

The company, which is owned by defense contractor United Technologies, announced in February that it would close two Indiana plants -- a Carrier plant in Indianapolis that employs 1,400 workers and a United Technologies Electronic Controls plant in nearby Huntington, Indiana, that employs 700.

Carrier did not elaborate on the terms of the deal, but it is on the record, as are most other major multinational businesses, as wanting to see a cut in corporate tax rates, especially as it applies to cash earned overseas.
 
He's bringing jobs back to America and he hasn't even been sworn in yet. Obama should be embarrassed.
 
Yep. And he is not even in office yet. Of course many will not give him credit. Shame.

Uhhhhhmmmmmmm ---- the OP provided no link at all. It's just his word.

Price of critical thinking musta gone up.
 
I saw an article on it. Will see if I can find it again and will post the link.
 
Thanks S.J. Now I don't have to go find it. :D
 
Political symbolism aside, saving 1,000 Carrier jobs doesn’t loom so large in an economy that’s created an average of 181,000 jobs a month this year, noted Jared Bernstein, a liberal economist who served as adviser in the Obama administration from 2009 to 2011.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/29/business/trump-to-announce-carrier-plant-will-keep-jobs-in-us.html

Another far left drone that can not handle that things will get better once Obama is and the far left is out of power!
 
Standing up for workers against corporations and businessmen is good to see and an act not usually considered Republican. The working class can feel optimistic. Wages are ten times higher than in Mexico so, American consumers, those same working people, would do well to show some patriotism and buy American made products even if they are more expensive. For every company the president-elect and when president can keep working at home there might be ten that will go south for cheaper labor so the general public have their part to play.

Hey, it's no skin off my nose. I'm enjoying the electoral situation the US finds itself in, tempered only by concern for Americans I respect and admire. It's hilarious with a carnival barker as First Con Man. What a hoot!

Ooooooh ----- what a gotcha!!!

Cut me to the quick! I am SO ashamed.

Read the fucking' newspaper, dork.
 
The NYT for all their faults had this sensible and accurate line in their coverage;

"...And just as only a confirmed anti-Communist like Richard Nixon could go to China, so only a businessman like Mr. Trump could take on corporate America without being called a Bernie Sanders-style socialist. If Barack Obama had tried the same maneuver, he’d probably have drawn criticism for intervening in the free market."

President Elect Wildcard could be great.
