I remember when dems and media ruthlessly bullied Scott Walker and gop dopes in Wisconsin for the Foxconn scam. Why are libs suddenly shilling foreign giveaway scams as a good thing?

So for FoxConn Walker promised to give $3 billion in tax credits to FoxConn. Here the state has spent $200 million to attract business to a site and when it does the governor says no, I don’t like that it’s Chinese business because I’d rather have a political talking point than thousands of good paying jobs.

So the only difference is amount of the subsidy? How does that make it better? $200 million is still a lot of money. [/quote]

So yes the amount of the subsidy matters— if you can attract jobs by paying $1000/job that’s a lot better than paying $1 million/job. But more importantly the state has already spent that money to attract a business. If you/Youngkin thinks that was a bad idea then maybe say so sooner.  Now that the investment has paid off and a private company wants to spend big dollars to bring thousands of jobs he is rejecting them?  Youngkin isn’t complaining about the subsidy— he is complaining about the busines that wants to open.

This new fascist control of the economy where DeSantis and Youngkin want to decide what companies can operate is really troubling[/quote]
