Would Republicans have Whined if Obama Did This?

Why? Our Federal Reserve has been manipulating the economy for YEARS. The President can do no worse. Smoke and mirrors about over, though, as we'd better see rate hikes or it's game over yet again...

Oh! Just in time for the Republican Admin to take the hit!

Oh my, you just said that Trump could "do no worse". Are you in for a surprise. There are foxes in every henhouse. What could go wrong? I think Trump could actually make us miss GW Bush.

If you were a Conservative, I might think twice. There are no fair minded liberals today. Yet.

Why are they all of a sudden Big Government Liberals?

Whoa whoa whoa.... They've ALWAYS been 'Big Government Liberals.' Big Government addicted...big brother loving...mommy government treat me like the child I am...liberals.
 
This is a good article explaining why Libertarians shouldnt be lumped into this hypocrisy. We have been arguing for equal protection. ALL businesses should be treated the same, not favored or punished based on the whims of politicians.

Why Was Carrier Considering Moving to Mexico in the First Place? - Hit & Run : Reason.com

This is the story behind the Carrier story. Federal regulations, and lots of them, helped push the company towards Mexico. Those same regulations could push other companies to do the same—the "deal" that saved those 1,000 jobs in Indianapolis did nothing to make life easier for other, similar businesses.

We'll see if Trump does things to help everyone instead of headline makers.

I'm quite sure we would have all heard about the horrors of government overreach by the usual small government/libertarian/conservative suspects, if a D president had dared to do this.

Pres. elect Trump goes after GM for Chevy Cruze manufacturing

Ford cancels Mexico plant. Will create 700 U.S. jobs in 'vote of confidence' in Trump - Jan. 3, 2017



Why are they all of a sudden Big Government Liberals? Oh, that's right. It's because a Republican is the one pushing his big government weight around.

You don't get it do you? Republican primary voters elected Trump because he wasn't Republican establishment. General election voters voted for Trump because he wasn't establishment. That's what this election has been all about - anti-establishment. The Republican nominee offered anti-establishment. Hillary offered establishment. It doesn't have anything to do with Comey or the Russians and it doesn't have anything to do with your post.

Blame the people who give him that power. I wont be changing my life because of his tweets.

I thought we were each responsible for our own actions? As a Libertarian I would think that would be doubly true. I won't be changing my life either. Just some of my investing. I see he went after Toyota today and hired a lawyer that represented Goldman Sachs and the rest of Wall Street to police them. I would be very worried about history repeating itself.
 
Which people with Toyota stock did trump alert before he made this tweet?

Same question for all the other 'threats' and 'successes'?

Will insider trading based on trump tweets be the normal going forth ?

Fair enough. But, I am an easy sell on this issue.

Ford building a $2B super-plant in Mexico would have been a slap in the face. Obama would have turned the other cheek. Trump went wtf? Fired up his Twitter account and forced Ford to rethink it.

Win for Trump, and hopefully for the US.

And Hillary lied about being under sniper fire and trying to enlist in the marines. And what about pot smoking Billy boy?

What war was going on with a draft at the time, apdst?

Whether you like it or not, a GOP draft-dodger who smeared Sen. McCain and Prisoners of War is now our dear leader.

Just like trump's smearing of our brave intelligence professionals who put their lives on the line every day for this chicken**** traitorous chickenhawk .

lol....the best part about the Marines story is that Hillary says the recruiter told her she was too old. Meanwhile, when Bill tells the story, he says it was the army that she tried to join, and she was turned down for having bad eyes.
