Trump Thinks His Insane Tariffs Will Generate Manufacturing Jobs....But The "Big Beautiful Bill" Actually Eliminates Manufacturing Jobs In Red States

Hahaha. You have nothing in response to my original post.

Which MAGA bullshit was that?

I guess your simple ass is trying to say I have no power in my house at night time?

I'm trying to say Chicago doesn't have any solar power at night.
Not a good way to save money, if you need power 24/7.

Rising ocean levels....from climate change, gomer.

If you tell someone from Miami it's not real, they'll just laugh at your idiot MAGA ass.

No home owner's insurance, because the ocean rose a few inches in the last 100 years?

Home owner's insurance in south Florida and several U.S. coastal areas has gone way up....because of rising oceans levels....because of climate change.

Your ignorance is your problem, not mine.

The water is 2 inches higher, no more insurance.

And projections are much higher over the next few decades, simp. The simple fact is that large parts of the coastal U.S. will no longer be inhabitable without billions of dollars of investment in sea walls, raised homes, etc.,

You can make light of it, but the people living in these areas are not.

Oh no! 2 more inches by 2100. Or maybe 4 inches?

No one cares.

Sounds like a much better investment than wasting trillions on solar.

People do care, simp. You don't live there, you have no fucking idea what you are saying....as always.

Most Republicans will never admit it, but Biden's 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was a godsend for red states. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act allocated hundreds of billions of dollars for green energy projects.

These green energy jobs are now GONE...thanks to Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill".

And most of the new green energy manufacturing projects from Biden's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act were in red states. Hundreds of thousands of good paying manufacturing jobs in the high-tech green energy field....GONE, overnight.

Overall, the "Big, Beautiful Bill" hurts red states more than blue states.

I thought Trump wanted to bring manufacturing back to this country with his stupid ****ing tariffs? Instead, this bill does the exact opposite. MAGA rubes....this is how Trump helps the working class???

Now, some Republican Senators such as Thom Tillis (R-NC) are greatly concerned about this, as the Washington Post article below discusses.


From the Washington Post --

In all, the bill would take away $522 billion that is scheduled to be injected into local economies across the country.

“The majority of the government spending is creating jobs and manufacturing capacity in red states,” said Jason Bordoff, the founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. “So this puts Republicans, generally and now in the Senate, in the position of having to choose whether to support the party line or maintain support for government programs that are creating a lot of economic activity in their states.”

The measure — branded by Trump as the One Big Beautiful Bill — would rapidly phase out billions of dollars of tax incentives contained in the Inflation Reduction Act, which Congress passed in 2022. Some of the tax credits would end as soon as this year. The bill also slows the shift to electric vehicles by eliminating a tax credit of up to $7,500 for their purchase.

To pass it, Trump will need votes from Senate Republicans who have championed the green subsidies in their home states.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina), one of the most vulnerable senators up for reelection next year, suggested Thursday that he would push for a slower phaseout of the clean energy subsidies. An immediate phaseout, he said, would “have a chilling effect” on “future investments” in the domestic energy sector.

“For companies that have made major capital deployment decisions, we need to respect that or people are going to start thinking that the United States has massive changes in policy every two years in this space, and that will be devastating to the U.S.’s current position as the innovation leader,” he said. “We’ve got to maintain that position.”

The subsidies have sparked billions of dollars’ worth of projects nationwide, but a Washington Post analysis last year found that most of the investments are flowing to red states.

In Tillis’s home state of North Carolina, the law has helped attract $23 billion in investment, according to data compiled by Atlas Public Policy and Utah State University. Forty-seven new facilities in the state — including a massive Toyota battery plant — could create about 20,000 new jobs, the data shows.

Now, analysts and advocates say, such projects could collapse or relocate abroad. The cuts also threaten the stability of the power grid, which is heavily reliant on solar and wind power.

“If this bill becomes law, America will effectively surrender the AI race to China and communities nationwide will face blackouts,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, one of many groups lobbying the Senate to change course.

Seems we should be more concerned about the forthcoming ice age and 100 meter drop in mean sea level....
