Trump announces 8,000 more jobs

I give obama credit for stabilizing the economy. It was one of his greatest accomplishments, even if I do disagree with how it was done.

The result was competent.

This tax breaks for jobs publicity bullshit is just that, bullshit.

It's not the President's job to pick individual winners and losers out of the economy. It's their job to create a level playing field and then let the private industry do the damn thing.

This is like China level socialism.

What a bunch of bullshit.

You can create jobs without bribing corporations with fist fulls of cash.

Hell the auto bailout was a government backed loan. Jobs were created and the American tax payers were payed back what they were owed with interest.

Actually unless you fix trade you can't create jobs with out fist fulls of cash. In fact boeing teaches a seminar to other corporations on how to leverage your jobs you already employ for massive tax breaks.

In fact the state of washington has given the two largest tax breaks in the history of the US to boeing, just to keep jobs here, and boeing keeps breaking it's promises. If you aren't aware washington state is ran by democrats.
 
Lol. The cult is blinded.


The investment announced before his election is now his success.
 
Man some of you guys are still salty as hell.

Throwing money at corporations.

Be throwing money at corporations.

Cause I be throwing money at corporations.

This is what fucking passes for policy now?
 
Because it's really not as impressive as it sounds for a number of reasons.

But yeah I actually agree those 'x thousand jobs back' news won't really save our country.

We're talking about different recessions with different causes and different side effects and different solutions.

They cannot be compared so directly.

Fix trade or play the game.

As I pointed out, democrats in the state washington have given the two largest tax breaks in the history of the US to keep jobs in Washington state.

The worst part is that boeing has worked them at every turn. They get the tax breaks and find loopholes in the deals to outsource through contracting, and sub assembly work, and still ship jobs out.

It's un-American.

I don't know about that. Some of these things get posted like they're mind-blowing accomplishments and then when you go and look into it, it's mostly a great can of paint on an average accomplishment.

This is a perfect example.

At the beginning of the year 2016, Sprint cut 2,500 jobs. The parent company, SoftBank, opens an investment fund with Saudi Arabia to the combined tune of $100 billion dollars. The fund is to invest in technology companies. All of this happens before Trump gets elected. After Trump gets elected, Softbank pledges to invest $50 billion in U.S. companies and create 50,000 jobs.

But they don't say if this is new money or part of the investment fund that they'd already funded with the Saudis.

Then Sprint and OneWeb both claim to be bringing 8000 jobs to the U.S. but the OP doesn't clarify that Sprint and OneWeb are both owned by SoftBank and that these are part of the same 50,000 jobs that were already pledged...

....which might be part of the original investment plan from the SoftBank/Saudi investment fund.

So did Trump get us $50 billion in new investment and 50,000 new jobs or is this just spin for money and jobs that were already planning to come here even before he got elected?

so, I don't know if some people are salty or if other people are selling wolf tickets and it needs to be pointed out.

Crazy how many people on the left suddenly realize that since Trump is (not) in office.
As a tea party conservative, I couldn't agree more and couldn't disagree more with Trump on economics.

I hope all the lefties who suddenly see the light are consistent enough to also keep in mind that it's immoral for a government to interfere with the market based on which result would be preferable to the actual results of supply, demand and voluntary exchanges of goods and service among individuals, rather than working on equality of opportunity when they think about the talking points of the progressive left or listen to a Bernie Sanders speech.

Also, this kind of blatant hypocricy really grinds my gears.

These morons on here have been demonizing Obama as a socialist marxist globalist satan secret muslim for years... now they're cheering for blatant socialism in the white house.

That's fair enough, but I wish there was an institution whose job it was to provide us with this info. Maybe a mechanism, let's call it investigative journalism, to show up with a camera, and interview the people involved, and ask them questions, and then fact check those answers, without bias or agenda.

Ehhh, I live in a fantasy world I guess.
 
make america great again

lol at the salty haters hoping he would fail

Look, I'm not saying socialism is a bad thing. We made it a bad word, but it's not a bad thing. We've been a socialist democracy for most of modern history people just don't want to admit it and there are no clearer indicators to American growth overtime than our implementation of massive social welfare institutions.

It's just really annoying to see people talk shit about socialism for years, if not decades, using it as some kind of slur, suddenly have a change of tune because it's their guy putting it into play and being completely oblivious to it.

Sure a populist wave broke in the Republican ether. It started with the co-opted tea party, and continued in the rejection of the Republican establishment embodied in Donald Trump.
 
Does it matter at this point. He hasn't even taken office yet.

FFS, stop rooting against your country to hate trump.

Trump will be a mixed bag president. Some good, some bad.

You destroy your own legitimacy by not recognizing the good.
That usually what happens. Look at an old article about job growth during Obama's time in office and even when good things happened the tribal negativity came out. Since you can't deny something like "250,000 new jobs in Q2" as stuff like that was totally accounted for it always became well the they are probably low paying part time jobs.

Not really, I got all of this information from the web. It's out there if people are willing to look. The thing is some of it isn't going to get clarified because we're never going to know what the original plan was that led to the $100 billion fund. But my experience tells me that you don't put together a fund like that and then randomly switch investment targets because the President of the U.S. changed. Any group that sophisticated knows not to overreact to an election.
