Ford Motors cancels plan for $1.3 billion plant in Mexico. Will instead invest $700 million in Michigan plant

Democrats are Mexican lovers who can't handle the truth.

This is really bad news. I hope other companies don't cave into trump and keep jobs in America.

Trump doesn't have any policies yet.

One tweet from Trump is now enough to cause companies to cave. Ford doesn't want that 35% tariff on all their vehicles. All because Trump tweeted about GM and the Chevy Cruze being made in Mexico.

Great! so a few people in a state I will never enter keep their jobs, and I pay 35% more for everything I buy. Sounds like good policy.

This is... uh... not the direction we want to see this country go. We are a ... global society. We ... support ... our brethren in Mexico, and these jobs would have benefited a great many families. I am very saddened and ... a little concerned at the ... nationlist propaganda coming from our ... folks across the aisle. We will continue to ... fight ... against prosperity ... uh I mean tyranny. And we will stand united in ... poverty. I mean ... uh ... united against Nazis ... uh I mean ... long live Obamacare.

I thought you liberals want more jobs created and especially in America? Do you prefer that multinational companies such as Ford hire outside the USA?

Yes, I want things to be produced overseas when it makes economic sense. We're better off if we can buy cheap goods. A policy that raises per capita income but raises cost of living by a greater percentage does not leave us better off.

This is why it "costs less" to manufacture overseas:

"environmental arbitrage", with no accounting by the manufacturer or the government for the pollution.

Same with "labor arbitrage". Lose an arm, get cancer, etc. - who cares? Not the guy who "has to pay 35% more".

Privatize the profits, socialize the liabilities.

Also, LOL at the idea that not wanting the government to micromanage private companies' affairs is "liberal."

I do like the idea of American cars being built in the US.

Ummm...pretty sure that other countries can make better decisions about what is best for their country than we can.

Oh, but really cute vacuous quote you threw in there at the end. Love that stuff.

Since the U.S. is at full employment now, they will have to import Mexicans for these jobs and pay them prevailing domestic wages. Brilliant.

11% unemployment is full employment?

Full employment? Go read the U6 report or take some time to understand how wonderful having multiple crappy part time jobs is. Idiots like you are why Trump got elected.
