    I actually get it, Chip. You and every other BHOLe voter believe that chart is real dollars in the Dow. BHOle gave the "rich" 4 trillion and gave Washington a bonus because Washington got a break on the interest rates. That was the bond auction trick called quantitative easing. QE began in 2008. Now the fed owns 30% of the mortgages and 25% of US debt.

    So in 2020, with all the debt and those QE bonds how much money are you going to lend the Fed out your pocket to prove the Kenyan Houseboy's economy was worth inheriting?

    The mushroom cock is your best chance to get through this one whether you want it or not. You and every other BHOle voter were more than willing to get on your knees for real double digit unemployment and 2.2%(right) GDP.
    This guy has manufacturing employment up 207,000 to BHOLes down 9000. The exact opposite of what the leftists predicted, in every category.

    We'll let you get back down on your knees when he starts nationalizing industries...
    That.Is.Awesome.

    Where are you getting this from? Who knew a F A T racist shithead like yourself supports corrupt as fuck multinational corporations that are constantly plundering the populations of the United States and the world to the tune of trillions of dollars by driving down and evading taxes on profits booked overseas? Who knew a F A T racist shithead like yourself supports that decisions that affect the lives of millions in America and billions around the world as long as it remains in in the hands of a parasitic financial oligarchy AND as long as they are white? Who knew a F A T racist shithead like yourself loves to have the corporate dick of multimillionaires and billionaires, personified in the repulsive figure of Trump in your grubby F A T mouth?

      GM Just Laid Off 15,000 Workers Less Than One Year After Trump Promised Tax Cuts Would Save US Jobs [Opinion]

      Chris Walker
      Less than one year after historic tax cuts, aimed toward corporations and made with promises from the White House of jobs security for Americans across the country, General Motors announced on Monday that it would be laying off 14,700 of its workers in the United States.

      According to a tweet from the Washington Post, the motor company is set to fire 15 percent of its salaried workers, as well as end production at five plants in the U.S. and in Canada.


      One of the plants that is closing, per reporting from the Chicago Tribune, is a production facility just outside of Youngtown, Ohio. Just this past summer, President Donald Trump said that jobs were coming back to the area as a result of his policies and laws passed. Trump told workers in that community not to sell their homes because jobs were “coming back.”

      Not surprisingly, Trump’s rhetoric doesn’t match the reality of the situation. In fact, just the opposite is happening: rather than jobs coming back, opportunities for workers are leaving, and workers who were once employed will soon need to find new jobs following these plants’ closures.

      Less than one year ago, Trump promised that his tax cuts — which largely benefited corporations and wealthy Americans — would spur jobs growth across the nation. “I consider this very much a bill for the middle class and a bill for jobs,” Trump said in a signing statement promoting the tax cuts in December last year. “And jobs are produced through companies and corporations, and you see that happening.”

      GM to slash over 14,000 jobs from North American workforce
      The reduction could include the closing of up to five domestic plants.

      ...
      This is not a phenomenon that is unique to GM, which benefited greatly from the Trump tax cuts over the past year. Pfizer, AT&T, and Kimberly-Clark also laid off large portions of their workforce following the passage of the tax package, according to reporting from CheatSheet.

      The promises that these tax cuts would spur jobs growth — as well as jobs retention — were largely misplaced when Trump and others promoted the bill last year.

      We knew this before the bill was even signed into law — a survey of 42 economists last year found that only one thought that the new law would spur economic growth, and other surveys found that corporations across the country didn’t believe that the tax cuts would inspire them to hire more workers, per reporting from the American Prospect. The new law also did not place any incentives on companies to keep jobs in American — rather, it strengthened the economic motivations to move jobs offshore.

      The problems and reasons for GM laying off tens of thousands of workers may not have been avoidable. But the tax cuts that were passed last year were sold on the basis of retaining jobs in the United States, and creating more of them as well. Trump made a promise to these communities specifically that their jobs would be secure because of his tax cuts. In the end, that was a promise broken, and one that these workers shouldn’t forget any time soon.

        Lordstown has always been rumored to close. Even when GM made the Cavalier there, they claimed they lost money on every one.

        GM's joining Ford on the anti-sedan movement...

          I have no problem with lowering the corporate tax rate, Obama favored it with the caveat that the loopholes be closed and some accountability went into where corporations set up their tax shelter bases and where they do the majority of their business. But no, I'm not in favor of a completely ignorant blanket cuts in taxes when many corps pay no taxes.

          You don't get anything because you're a racist moron nitpicking reasons to hate Obama while ignoring that he was a very good president that righted the ship the assclowns you worship nearly beached!

          Since when do you give a fuck about deficits?

          Sounds like you're a retard who has no idea what he is talking about is just cutting and pasting complete bullshit...
          No, Cut-and-paste is your specialty. So don't get sidetracked anymore than you already have. I listened to you and every other BHOle voter tout 2.2 GDP and manufacturing jobs gone away. The leftists were as proud as the half Kenyan prez was. Always releasing positive job numbers only to have to retract them. You want to review that?

          Since you have no problem with the tax rate, I'll meet you halfway. QE has worked in the short-term. BUT it's going to take a total commitment to government fiscal responsibility to repair this. The debt you don't think I care about is looming over my oil futures, my 401(k), my bonds, and my buffalo head coin collection.

          You're right that McCain would've been status quo. Mitt Romney is a better man than BHOle and based on that I can pretty much assume he would've made a better president. Trump has managed to build up a surplus and is paying down the debt, something BHOle was never capable of getting done.

          Now, you want to address racism with me? Why haven't you commie Lib's set up your own industries so you know longer need the white man's money for your government projects? BHOle, the smartest man that ever lived according to Chip in Buffalo, should have had picture-perfect welfare by now. The modern Democrat is a socialist and all socialist are racists. No getting around that one. One of the best examples of BHOle voters racism is the collectivist forced tax program commonly known as Obamacare. Government welfare at its finest. BHOle voters love for families to be on welfare. By damaging the work ethic, it makes families dependent on government assistance. Families with children on welfare hear 3 million fewer words before the age of three. That's a great racist legacy for BHOle voters to get behind.

          So for the record, my blind, unabated, and very personal hatred of the Kenyan houseboy has more to do with how many of you feel towards jerkoffsmearass. And precisely because of all the shit stirring he did constantly, there's no going back. And you'll never be able to justify your racism. BHOle has seen to it and made sure you're stuck with it...

              Chip, I appreciate that you're excited that as many as 14,000 people are losing work, but this has a little more to do with how GM ran the corporation than tax incentives. So I guess they're not to build the Volt anymore? Wasn't that an Obama car?

              You seem really happy. Wasn't GM too big to fail?

                Hardly surprising that Cheeto would want the Chevy Volt exterminated. That dumb orange son of a bitch is more rooted in 19th century energy policies than even the BCE themselves were. And at least the BCE had the excuse of using the oil business as a front for their "off-book" CIA operations.

                  Cars are more expensive because of the Trump tariffs. The steel and most the parts now come from overseas. Short-term it's going to make things more expensive but long-term it will motivate companies to make the steel and parts back in the US. We got used to consumer goods being cheaper because they were essentially made by slave labor in places like China. The bottom line is if you want decent paying manufacturing jobs in the US you are going to have to pay more for the goods. Another problem that has nothing to do with politics is automation. A lot of jobs that required people now can be automated. We really could find ourselves in a future situation where we have more people than jobs. Of course the government could provide a base living allowance but the problem with that is it makes people dependent on politicians and bureaucrats and that becomes abused and usually turns into a tyranny of some kind. It's best to have the eggs in multiple baskets and that's why free market capitalism always provides the most freedom and economic growth to people who understand it and are willing to work. No perfect system folks. All you can do is do your best to understand where things are going and prepare yourselves to survive in the environment. No politician is going to fix shit. Trump has come. He will go. Someone else will be in the seat. I wouldn't waste time waiting for some messiah figure to arrive and shoot manna from his or her ass.

                    Who gives a rat's ass? Does anyone here work for GM? GM had to be bailed out by the government. Ford didn't. Sears is going to disappear. Missed the whole on-line marketing opportunity when ironically Sears and Robuck sold everything you could imagine mail order over a century ago. Sears was the original Amazon. Management didn't see the opportunities and now Sears is toast. GM might be toast. The thing is something replaces these companies. If there is a market, people will meet the demand. Life doesn't stay static and nobody has a steady job anymore. You have to adapt and it's all up to you whether you do or don't. Not some politicians. Most politicians have no idea what's going on in the free market world.

                      The reason Sears is failing is that right about the time of the merger with K-Mart, the company was put in the hands of a CEO who was a hedge-fund mismanaging Randtard idiot who didn't give a flying fuck about the company's legacy or long term survival, much less its employees. Every decision that asshole made was wrong, and now we see the results. If Sears had modernized their old catalog business to a 21st century model, while keeping their brick & mortar stores running, they could have very well been a competitor to Amazon... and maybe without a CEO as craven & narcissistic as Jeffy Bezos is.

                        Ford stock is almost junk status. Shareholders want dividends.

                        There is a bank of Amazon lockers at the same mall Sears left a year ago. Used to pick up your catalog order at Sears...now you can pick up your Amazon order.

                            Wrong again. Who in the fuck wants to buy an (alleged) American made car anymore? Back in 2015 when I bought my Infinity in no way was any American made pile of shit on the radar. They are garbage for the money. Had a roommate who had a 2016 Ford "View" or "Trek" or "Aspen" or whatever lame-ass marketing think tank bullshit name they gave it and you know what? That piece of shit spent more time at the dealership repair then it did on the road.
