It is concerning to a point.  Donald Trump has made it so obvious this is goal is "keep jobs in america" that you start to wonder "at what cost".

I mean this was pretty much win win for Carrier. They either move the jobs away and save money - or they get bribed with tax credits to stay.

So pretty much as long as a company is willing to move their jobs they can just threaten to do so and get bribed to stay.

It does not set a good precedent.

Hopefully at a cost to services to illegals and refugess. 

He saved what 1000 jobs ? the taxes they pay on spending it and the gov not having to support them with EI or welfare once fired pretty much makes that 7m look like nothing in the grand scheme of things.  For sake of arguemnt at 30k a year he just ensured 30 million stays in the local economy, their basic sales tax pf 7% will mean 2m returns to the gov.  If any one has a bunch legitamete numbers you could really dive in hard and figure just how well worth that 7m tax cut was.
