Trump's Carrier Deal Getting Worse All The Time...

The term “dog and pony show” keeps popping up regarding Trump’s agreement with Carrier. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. http://tytnetwork.com/go "Carrier’s union president accused Donald Trump of significantly inflating the number of jobs he convinced the company to keep in Indiana, telling the Washington Post that the President-elect “lied his ass off.” Trump last week visited the company’s Indianapolis plant to celebrate a deal he struck with Carrier’s parent company, United Technologies, to preserve 1,100 jobs there that would otherwise be sent to Mexico. Yet that number obscured the fact that some 350 of those positions were research and development jobs that the company never intended to dispatch to Mexico, or that around 80 were non-union clerical and supervisory positions, according to the Post. United Steelworkers 1999 President Chuck Jones hoped that Trump would use his Dec. 1 visit to address the 550 Indianapolis jobs that would not be saved. “But he got up there,” Jones said, “and, for whatever reason, lied his ass off.” Trump’s speech to Carrier workers did not address the $7 million in tax breaks that the company received from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, a state agency, to keep manufacturing jobs in the state. He promised on the campaign trail to “tax the hell” out of corporations like Carrier. Nor did Trump mention that United Technologies still planned to send 700 jobs from a separate factory in Huntington, Indiana, to Monterrey, Mexico. As Carrier workers from the Huntington factory, many of whom supported Trump, stood outside the Indianapolis plant holding signs asking the President-elect not to “forget” about them, Trump announced that the Indianapolis operation was keeping “over 1,100 people, which is so great.” “Trump and Pence, they pulled a dog and pony show on the numbers,” Jones told the Post. “I almost threw up in my mouth.””* Read more here: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/carrier-union-president-trump-lied-ass-off-number-jobs-saved Hosts: Cenk Uygur Cast: Cenk Uygur *** The Largest Online News Show in the World.

You Carrier employees got screwed.
I will never buy a Carrier product now. -
Last I checked Trump did more than Obama did. F***in morons.
-
The government will literally cover the wages of all 'saved' jobs in the tax breaks awarded alone. There is no evidence Trump threatened them at all either.
-
become a politian cenk
-
Hmmm I'm curious to know where you get your numbers. Considering the fact that people on government assistance has skyrocketed over 40 percent in the past 8 years for unemployed workers, your numbers don't match up to the 10.4 million jobs created
-
Fake news from terrorist young turds. Cynk the pedo needs to go on a diet!
-
ELSIE TRAINOR JUMP ON THE TRUMP TRAIN!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA. ..HE WILL BE THE NEW PRESIDENT! OH, AND TALKING ABOUT CROOKED? WHY,THAT'S WHY HELLARY LOST! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,I JUST LOVE IT!
-

cenk..get a clue obama jobs==none sustainable low wage part time jobs, which keeps people at the mercy of our Plutocracy..Insurance costs that are not affordable to Most Americans and if they can pay for it They can't use it==high deductibles along with co-pays. All those people are one week away from being evicted from their homes if they have an expense that is not a part of their ridiculously small income..Bravo obama for keeping ppl in servitude and fearful that they may be the next one's to get the boot..We have become a huge plantation being managed by our reps and not the other way around..Wake Up America ...

the pic of donald is kinda mean, funny but mean
-
WTF bush lost over 800000 jobs in his last month in office.
-
NAW,HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING! (LOL) THAT'S WHY HE'S A BILLIONAIRE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
-
Elected officials on the whole aren't all that smart. Observation and some small experience tells me so. If you discounted them the average IQ of Washington would go up 3 points.
-
Ummm who else would those contracts go to? None of their competitors are any 'whiter' (as in beyond reproach) as our little friends at Carrier/UTC
-
In one year, those 850, 000 jobs would have generated at the very least 15 million dollars in payments to their workers, thats assuming that they pay everyone minimun wage which they dont so whats the downside again?
-
Ok I've finally realized what it is abt Cenk that rubs me wrong. He's got the mindset of a Trump supporter 'ME LIKE STRONG MAN' (read: MEAThead) but he mouths only the very superficial words of the most superficial Progressive.
3 Million MORE votes Cenk for Hillary! And the only reason Trump won Where he won - has a lot to do with idiots who believe Fake News or their racists. So sick of ppl pretending racism did NOT drive these election results. -
'Now you are seeing that it's a little more complicated than what you are seeing in the regular press? That he saved all these jobs'??
Dude are you for real? MSNBC, CNN, ABC -even NBC were criticizing and looking FAR closer at this Carrier Deal far sooner than you with your groveling man-crush on the Donald talking about how STRONG a man he was.
I despise liars. Whomever they are. Even when they come from - especially when they come from the so-called 'alternative progressive press'. You blew it with this one and if you care a whit about your reputation you will fully admit you F'd up, you were wrong, and u aren't as bright and shiny and special and alternative as you hype yourself to be. Liar -
Cenk you said you liked Trumps 'strength'. IOW - you got totally spun into the Trump spin. You are a hack.
