[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obama [b]hates coal and for profit education [/b]and has used the government to put them both out of business.  Trump doesn't like overruns and off shoring, and [b]goes after Boeing and Carrier.[/b]  Is there a difference here?  Yes, different industries and circumstances, but it's the same basic idea - if you are on the wrong end of the President's ideology, you are going to get hurt.[/quote]
The fundamental difference is contained in your post.  Obama enacted policies that impacted every business in a given sector and could be applied consistently and transparently.  Trump is picking fights with individual companies while allowing all the rest of the businesses in those sectors continue business as usual or change their practices out of fear of arbitrary retribution from Trump.  Free market conservatives should be disgusted with this approach.  There is absolutely no way that competition can work if the President can simply change the rules of the game on a whim.[/quote]
