Because Indiana is a red state and transforming 1,000 factory workers into 1,000 welfare recipients boosts the DNC’s voter base in Indiana.

It’s a start. I wish them success and hope that the saved 1,000 jobs turn into 2,000 more.

Of course there are incentives. There are always incentives. That’s part of making any deal, whether it’s keeping jobs in the U.S. or buying a car. I just wonder if one of the incentives was, “You move those jobs out of the country, you’ll never get another federal contract, at least as long as I am in office.”

Nothing wrong with making a deal by offering a little corporate welfare!
