I actually agree with Eric on this.
You don't really understand the magnitude of the problem I suggest that you find out the size of the regulatory burden in the US. If you are unfortunate enough to be in California its much worse. This is the result of an unelected bureaucracy that is out of control.
Ah, having the POTUS deciding which individual companies (Carrier) will get a tax cut and which will not (Trane, American Standard, Rheem Lennox, etc. ) is the utmost in regulating. Remember, "government shouldn't decide the winners and losers; that's the job of the markets!"
I always thought Libertarians/Austrians could be bought off, I just didn't realize how cheap. It's down to around 800 Carrier jobs saved which is lost in the noise of weekly employment gains/loses.
You should at least consider removing that laissez faire quote from your signature line - such clear hypocrisy has to be just a tad embarrassing, no?
The Carrier jobs "saved" is now below 800. Every week, there are between 200,000 to 300,000 new jobless claims. What Trump did was not even a drop in the buck. It was a publicity stunt by a con man. Google "Buy American" to see the 10s of thousands of jobs the GOP just voted to kill. Dems care about jobs, GOP care only about their own 1 percent income levels by conning you Trump Chumps.
