The total is $16.83 per week per user, or $3.37 per day."
So a United Technologies with its 41 subsidiaries that sucks $6,700,000,000 to support the neocon establishment and world domination, gets to keep its $6,700,000,000 plus suck up a paltry $7,000,000 out of the poor state of Indiana, a state with billions in unfunded pension liabilities (moneys they've promised, but have not saved, to pay their pensioners when the time to pay out arrives. That Indiana, the home of Vice President Pence. They are not alone of course.
What a deal! I thought Trump would kick ass, but instead, he sucks. There it is. There can be no denying it. This is the deal he struck. It is a really sucky deal for the working class. Maybe conservatives of the US would like this deal, but I will bet you that they are not working class. Wow. Oh I forgot. They got to keep their jobs. Woo fu*king doo.
You know what Ford and the rest of the corporatocracy, herein afterwards referred to as the corps, will do with this Trump style of dealing?
First Trump will cut their taxes.
There will be no strings attached to the cutting of taxes, so the corps, unable to find a safe place to invest, will loan their windfall to the government. They could also gamble it away, but the fed may not bail them out the next around...strike that...yes, the fed will bail them out because the people of this great nation will let them.
The government will take out a loan to make up for the loss of revenue caused by the tax cuts for the corps. McConnell has already warned Mr. Trump not to try to fund a tax cut for the little people.
The deficit will trigger spending cuts or offsets, revenue neutral operations, on the backs of the 99%, so the public-sector will suffer job cuts. Wait a minute, job cuts? What about Ford and other manufacturers?
Ford unable to import low wage workers of any religion, creed, national origin or gender will resort to buying robots from Japan and China in order to compete with Europe which will still have auto production in Mexico and other low wage countries. So employee attrition will occur, and US workers will lose their jobs to machines from China and Japan. Yea.
Ford unable to sell its cars to people living in the US, will try to figure out how to get rid of Mr. Trump's oops. They and others like them are already working on that.
Meanwhile the Fusion centers throughout the US are probably working overtime, unlike those it plans to trample who have been marching against and attacking meaningless and powerless targets.
So what can the working class expect from Mr. Trump? -- Forgive me for posing this question in the form of identity politics:
