Stocks are soaring, jobs are staying in America and deals are being made as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office.
But there are still liberal whack jobs who are ignoring the clear evidence of a growing Trump economy.
Trump was forced to defend himself after union chief Chuck Jones attacked Trump’s deal to keep Carrier Corp. from closing an Indiana factory, saving 1,100 American jobs.
President-elect Trump “should have come out and tried to justify his numbers.” United Steelworkers 1999 President Chuck Jones told CNN.
While Trump’s efforts undeniably saved jobs, Jones is unhappy with how the exact amount was reported.
The mainstream media has failed to notice that Jones’ union endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. But Trump has made some observations of his own, tweeting:
Chuck Jones, who is President of United Steelworkers 1999, has done a terrible job representing workers. No wonder companies flee country!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 8, 2016
If United Steelworkers 1999 was any good, they would have kept those jobs in Indiana. Spend more time working-less time talking. Reduce dues
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 8, 2016
It’s something Democrats and union bosses, dependent on workers loyalty, don’t want Americans to see — saving American jobs is just the beginning of Trump’s blossoming economy. His promises of less regulation and increased infrastructure spending have excited Corporate America, and have given down-on-their-luck workers a glimpse of the economy to come.
And it has left the overpaid union chiefs furious.
United States Steel CEO told CNBC Wednesday that with Trump in the oval office, they plan to increase investments and rehire previously laid-off employees.
“I’d be more than happy to bring back the employees we’ve been forced to lay off during that depressive period, CEO Mario Longhi said, continuing that it, “could be close to 10,000 jobs.”
Businesses from coast to coast are confident that Trump with improve the economy, and that faith in the President-elect is reflected in their investments.
The Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor’s 500 indexes soared Wednesday to their biggest gains since the presidential election and set all-time highs.
Airlines, railroads and trucking companies soared, a sign to investors of optimism about economic growth. Technology and consumer-focused companies also jumped. Biotech drug companies took steep losses after Trump said he wants to reduce drug prices.
The transportation sector reached an all-time high for the first time in two years. Julian Emanuel, an equity strategist for UBS, said investors see the record as a sign that businesses will start spending more, which would bolster economic growth.
Trump proved his actions have a great effect on the stock market when he criticized Boeing for an outrageously expensive Air Force One deal and the aircraft manufacturer’s stock price dipped.
Following his criticism of Boeing, Trump continued exemplifying the art of the deal. He met with Masayoshi Son, the CEO of telecommunications company SoftBank, and announced —
Masa (SoftBank) of Japan has agreed to invest $50 billion in the U.S. toward businesses and 50,000 new jobs….
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2016
Any union leader or critic that claims Trump will be damaging for the economy is ignoring the clear evidence in front of them. The president-elect hasn’t even made it to the oval office, and yet the economy is already making huge strides because of his actions.
Imagine the massive improvements he can make with the power of a presidential pen and the bully pulpit.

Unions are almost a thing of the past, most unions donate to democrats wether or not the members agree. If forced to donate to any Union there should be a block to check where your contribution should go to support democrat or republican.
I agree, once the unions saved lots of people’s lives, but now? Not much, they are on their way out, fellows, so get use to it.
My husband works in a mill and they have to join the union and pay them about $85:00 a month. They haven’t done a thing to help them. I guess someone might like the union but I don’t know why. Trump 2016.
Usually on union jobs You do have to join! I don’t know why it should come as part of the job package. Espeially at a time when wages are so low, and prices so doggone high. They don’t understand or care that your child mi ght need braces, your auto, need work, or something happened in your household you need a few extrasextras dollars for.

They don’t understand or care that your child mi ght need braces, your auto, need work, or something happened in your household you need a few extrasextras dollars for yourself. (I’ve been looking at some of the responses to this. -I had to feed my dogs.). What I’m seeing is doing away with labor unions,but for the labor unions to change. I could be wrong. But I really don’t think you can change the unions. But, what we can do as a collective bunch of voters turning s have the Senate and Congress rewrite better laws that protect job working people, and not just children. Just about all the labor laws in this country are written to protect children. If you work at a company they do not by law have to give you a break. They do have to give you a 30 minute lunch. Which is taken on your time. A lot of city mpanys get around giving a lunch by scheduling you for a 6-7 hours a day. So which would you rather have a 6.5 hour day or a 7 hour day. Also, a lot of companies will schedule you for a 32 hour week. If you have vacation time they will ask you if you would like to be ake a vacation day to fill out your hours to 40 hours. And a lot of companies are shorting their work weeks to 27-32 hours per week, so you don’t qualify for insurance. Big business and corporate giants took this all over. They’ve thought about every angle and loophole they could to strangle workers. Laws need to be changed, and labor laws rewritten. To accommodate us as American citizens. Otherwise we are going to wind up living in a third world country.
No, Helen… the union officials need to get used to the idea that they do their job to keep/ bring jobs back to the US…. or go back to being a “line worker” and do some real work. Union members have the power to remove worthless or bought off union leaders and do something to make their unions strong again. People that knock unions don’t know that all the workplace benefits (i.e. over-time, 40 hour work week, safer work places and rights to not lose their jobs on someone else’s “whim”… Union locals need to take their unions back… they are no better than the people in them… If your local is corrupt, kick the officials out of office….that is your right… if you have the nads to actually do something to make a change for the better.
Check the block if you want, they won’t honor it, which is why the unions should not legally be allowed to donate from members’ dues.
neither legally nor illegally….unions should not be allowed to donate to any campaign from union members’ dues. but the elephant in the room would be – how to federally enforce such a mandate! could the DOJ become the watch dog?
As my older neighbor once said Unions are a necessary evil….. Years ago the unions backed their workers for a fair share for a job well done….. for the past thirty years the union heads got greedy just like the other CEO and company heads and said the hell with its members we will worry about our own self and that is exactly what they did… screwed the workers… i still believe unions are necessary but like a bad corporation the unions need other heads to run an honest job for the members who are paying their dues…. Funny how it was the union members who helped Trump get elected, you would think something would sink into the top officials minds????????????
welcome to the white house President Trump and VP Mike Pence
Once Unions got a good sniff of all of that money from dues they stuck their snouts down in that trough and forgot that the people were what was paying it and became another name for the Mafia. They are useless, worthless in every way and need to be eliminated from the workforce.
Agree completely
The only thing unions are good for is making Americans pay more for everything we buy.
They get what they want by practicing extortion. “Give us what we want or we’ll wreck your business”.
In my book that is crooked..
I live that here in California where unions are still relevant in LA county. At least San Bernardino and Riverside countys aren’t stupid enough to fall for it.
Most union leaders are corrupt hanger ons who suck the blood (money) out of the rank and file and live want free lives of luxury. Unions were very much needed in the past but like bows and arrows and stone tipped clubs, they are things of the past.
When I was a young man I got a job before entering college in factory in Newark, Ohio. After one week I was told that I have to pay to belong to the union. My wage at the time was $2.92 per hour. To me this didn’t seem right so I quit rather then pay the union gangsters.
This union clown in Indiana shooting his mouth off about a man who saved jobs for his rank and file should be voted out of his office….actually I really feel that he should be stoned but that isn’t a politically correct statement. I will leave all of the nasty threats of violence up to the progressive liberals who can’t accept defeat and want to ignore the constitution.
Why not start by capitalizing the name, “Constitution”? Then perhaps people will begin giving it the respect it deserves.
Unions need to go away for good. All they are now is to keep the officials in high price luxury and the poor workers begging for work as he pay their union dues. One point in time, the unions had a position in our society, but not anymore.
Unions today are worse then the company owners were back in the days before unions! Unions should be disqualified from voting for any office!
Pass ( 2 ) Hats… One for dem & one for rep. $ collected for each, should go to each!

IF TRUMP HAS THE POWER AS PRESIDENT HE SHOULD LET THE WORKERS CHOOSE TO BE IN THE UNION OR NOT. THE UNION BOSSES ARE WEALTHY AND FAT FROM THE WORKING CLASS IN AMERICA AND THEY DON,T GIVE A HOOT ABOUT THEM. THE TIME OF THE UNIONS ARE OVERT.
Screw the damn greedy unions, America does not need the damn unions what we need is more right to work states and towns. And while we are at it we need to get rid of the weak chinned Mitch McConnell he is nothing more than a rapist the weak kneed piss ant get rid of him Donald. Drain the swamp.
Mr. Trump is not Presidint yet g has saved jobs mad steel company to hire thousands of workers what will happen when he becomes the 45th President the economy will pick up America is back raise the flag and thank Lord we have religious freedoms and 2nd anendment
I’ve told all my liberal friends who was so against Mr. Trump for President after he became “Elect” to just have patients. Most of them was so angry that he won. All I could hear from them was negative. They are starting to soften the more he performs.
Like I said,, He won,, now give him a chance,, the worst that can happen is 4 years opposed to untold years with the Dems
in office. We are on the road to a great recovery in every direction,,,,,,,,,,finally.
America has spoken. Trump is the Man
They haven’t softened, they just can’t believe the inept people he proposes to run the government. If you aren’t part of the 1%, and few Trump’s supporters were, you will find that his cabinet will begin screwing you over as soon as they are in place. Surprised? You shouldn’t be because that’s the way he has always operated. Trump first, everyone else, good luck.
Some people think they know everything when in fact they know nothing and they are so stuck in the rut of being a Democrat they won’t never believe that things will be better. Anything he does will be better than what we have now.
oracleguy, you undoubtedly work for soros with a mentality like you have. you are in bed with the clinton’s,
most likely wee billy,,
Ha Ha you lose, by by,, go cry,,
So if I read you right, you are a criminal backer in the form of Hillary
OracleGuy – again you demonstrate the obvious flaws in your character and lack of reasoning by your descriptions of his appointee’s which are 100’s of times better than those of his predecessor O’bozo the “Big Eared” Clown. You sir are truly an idiot who needs to get his b _ _ _ kicked,
I’ve seen too many of your nonsensical comments. Have no idea where you came from. One picks successful individuals if one wants the job done right and be likewise successful.
You don’t go to an unemployed person to give you a job, a homeless person to give you lodging, a broke person to borrow money, an addict to get health advise, etc. – this is what Obama has done for years and why we are in the mess we are in. America wants qualified, successful, strong individuals to lead them, finally!
You are on the wrong track and know nothing about what you just said.Trump will do just as he said he would do. Bring back the job fores. Put people back to work,and make America grate again. It is all ready happening. And he hasn’t even taken office yet. Yes he is an outsider, But that is what its going to take to make it all work. We the people are just tired of the old crony’s in charge that have gotten the pocket filed with our money and just don’t give a damn about us. It is way past time we stud up to them and HAVE.
Hey igiveoralguy at least he is not a muslim that hates americans.
Most union workers(the laborers) all voted for Trump! It’s only the cronies UNION BOSSES who are always up the DEM’s asses. They suck their butts..use our hard earned dues to bribe the Dem’s so they get what they want and it usually means more money in their pockets, much less for the laborers. I think most laborers are finally waking up to this…I hope.
You know what gets me with people on the right and the liberal left? You are both so willing to point out the faults of your opponents but rarely point out the corruption within your own party. When I see this (and it is easy to spot since I don’t support either party because neither party is for the people) it is blatantly obvious and it makes your credibility non-existent.
How anyone could have supported Hillary is mind numbing, Trump at least said the things the people wanted to hear. Hillary outright refused and yet people like you supported her, you folks on the left are delusional and are bold faced liars, there is nothing of fair game or morals in any of the dogma you spew, then you have the nerve to make comments that you know are divisive just for the sake of being a liberal.
I would say you should feel shame, but it wouldn’t matter to you, your a troll and nothing more. Keep this in mind, “what goes around, comes around” or better yet, “you will reap what you sow” When folks like you spew your liberal garbage it only convinces me more that liberalism is a sickness.
Well, although Trump feels FACTS DONT MATTER , the facts are these; More jobs went to Mexico than stayed behind, Not 1100 but 700. The union president had a duty to his members to make that clear. But we must remember that Trump is on record for having lied 19 times in 30 minutes so I guess we better get used to it. I myself long bago became used to Americans voting against thier own self intererst so I have no complaints. I just pray that the Nation survives.
To anyone who want to say what they want to say your facts are right! It was supposedly only 700 jobs saved for the US. But, in that I see a blessing! That blessing is, we kept those 700 Job in the US. Now, I guess that means 1100 illegal aliens can go home. NOT! Because education for females in their country costs. Not that I’m saying they all pay up and pull their weight over here. They vet free education free food free resources, and at tax time a big ole check, most of them Be cause they go tax exempt or pay miniscule taxes all year, but then they really cash in on that earned income credit. I don’t think building a wall is the answer. I think they should all be audited by a federal auditor. And pay back what they have received from this country for free.
Who cares what the corrupt unions and their leadership have to say about anything.
The Union Bosses Need to sit down and shut up because there is a New Sheriff in town and His name is Donald Trump. Their power has been declining since the 2010 midterm elections. With Wisconsin, Michigan moving to Right to work states they were Union Bastions for Democrats and now they are the Democrats Achilles heel. Trump should do everything in his power to shut down the SEIU thugs put them out of business along with AFL-CIO,and The UAW. Union don’t work for their workers they only work for the people in power. One final Union thar needs to be done away with the Teachers Union they have failed our children and the cost per child education rises every year and you can’t fire Bad teachers.
Excuse me! You aren’t as old as I. But, back those numbers up! The union has been in decline since 1963. I’m not like some that want to point fingers and ugly words. But, a Democrat was in office then. Too bad, I’ve lived this history, and not studied it in a book. But, I’m not suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s, and I actually know what went on. I’ve been blessed with a good memory, and for that I’m thankful.
I’m as happy with Trump as a kid with a new toy!
My investments increased $12,000 in value in the last 2-1/2 months!
$4800 a month is not bad for doing absolutely NOTHING!
Go Trump!
great job,so happy for you Merry Christmas god bless
There was a time when being in a union was good but now the union is made up of lazy no good for nothing wimps
yes the unions are a thing of the past and they know it all they want is the dues to help the dumacrats stay in power and its going to be a long time that one will get in that office again for sure when President Trump gets done making our country great again and he will not bow to any leader like the idiot that is finally leaving the office in a big mess.
I was in unions for 46 years not full time but thy took all the money that was to be retirement from me. I had to pay dew at least 40 of the 46 years Is that what unions are for . I always was over union scale because of my skills no just because of union
UNIONS ARE JUST LIKE THE FN DEMOCRATS TAKE EVERY PENNY YOU MAKE AND (( NO )) RTURN.
I’ve been in three unions, two in the graphic arts/printing unions in San Francisco and Portland, OR. I’m also in the Teamsters union in the Midwest, no choice but to join if you drive for my outfit. All three of them have screwed up the pension program.
Our local union president told me there will be no pensions going out at all in 4 to 5 years. I sure hope Missouri becomes a right to work state and relieve me from the high dues. All those dues are doing for me is receiving a magazine from Hoffa that’s been horribly offensive to me because most of it is nothing but democrat BS!

Are some of you still spreading that “Obama is a Muslim” fake story? You whined about his Christian minister in Chicago and now he has magically become a Muslim? You people have no common sense whatever, have you? You can’t smell a fake story when it fills the elevator with you.
When he makes speeches before the Muslims he says he is a muslim. When he is talking to Christians he says he is a christian. When he was in Kenya he told them he was born in Kenya. There are films of all these things he said while he was saying it. So believe what you want to.
With people like Pelosi, Shummer & Ellison to look up too – you are the sad one and again who needs to get his a _ _ kicked and I be honored to be the one to kick your miserable “Leftist” a _ _.
O RACKLE YOU STILL HERE, I THOUGHT THE FBI WOULD HAVE ROUNDED YOU UP BY NOW.
Hey igiveoralguy shouldn’t you be in bed with your boyfriend lawless5960 right now.
OracleGuy: I can definitely smell a fake, YOU!!!
Oral guy!! please go away and take your boss with u. There is a thousand ways to spell negative, uninformed, and demented. “Oracleguy”. Go join your looser friends protesters and gather outside of your boss’s house, george soros, he may have some peanuts to throw at you all.
Only Democrats! Lol!
Jerry, I feel for you as I do for hundreds of thousands of airline co-workers who went through the same thing. Go Trump!
Publish how much these corrupt union presidents and officials make in salary yearly and all their perks. After looking at that then it would make people wonder what they are doing to earn those ridiculious amounts…
There was a time when the Unions protected workers and Unions did a lot of good things, but greed set in with the Union bosses and now the only thing they want is all your money. The Union bosses even want to get rid of the Right To Work Laws and force everyone in America to pay them Union dues just to keep or get a job.
That ain’t gnna happen! Lol!
Unions were formed for an entirely different reason (in the 30’s) than today. Labor relation boards from every state will not allow employers any latitude with how employees are treated. Robust economy allows for people to move from job to job if they don’t like their wages or benefits. Unions are a plight. Government unions are a conflictive interest and shouldn’t be allowed. Not in all cases, they destroy production and competition and our ability to compete worldwide.
Oracle Guy, change your name!!!! I work for Oracle and do not appreciate your stupid, liberal, communist statements!!
The unions are largely responsible for many of these jobs leaving the United States. It’s time to reform laws covering labor unions. These union fat cats need to be force to live on salaries closer to what their members are paid. Unions need to be forced to join churches on the sidelines in political campaigns. I would not want to be in a union because I would not want my dues going to support the candidates that most unions support.
Like churches, unions should be allowed to take a stand on issues specifically related to labor laws and working conditions. Unions should not be allowed to endorse, fund, or work for/against any candidate.
If its made illegal for unions to contribute it should also be illegal for big business and private donors to contribute so much. What is the DNC or RNC doing with all that money anyway? It shouldn’t take all that to run for president. I mean Who are they paying? The most for this the most for that? Hillary didn’t get elected and she had enormous wealth behind her, and half of Hollywood. You shouldn’t be able to buy the. News, you shouldn’t have to have your wealthy friends speak for you. I thnk Donald Trump actually did a better campaign than. Hillary did. He worked for it. He got out and met people, gave speeches, and started his grassroots following. He tried to get elected. Hillary didn’t. She spent all that big money for nothing! Really, look at both candidates, just at first glance you would think Hillary’s got this one in the bag! But, really! When you start to look closer her fasad started fade, her halo was askew. I’m a woman, and Ive always thought my thinking as progressive. But, I was not voting for her. Then I looked at Donald Trump and thought omg! But the more I listened to him, the more sense he made to me. We are in this country the greatest country on earth. We have so much, but we are so hated and disrespected. It didn’t used to be like that! He may not be poltically correct, but he is right about the fall of this country. The way our. country used to be great is gone! Im ready as an American for my country to be made great again! AND YES I VOTED FOR TRUMP!!!!!
If the unions are so good, why aren’t more Americans working????? Cause they drive the price of everything up for all, and, in some areas any price increase, whether consumers or business, just slows hiring and expansion down. Unions use to watch out for the employee against company abuses, but today it looks out for votes and keeping any Administration in the bucks, including theirs.
What we really need is a labor union that is really for the workers. Today they not what they were intended for.
I Completely agree !!!! Once upon a time I believe some unions were in the best interest of their people, they supported.
But now days they do not represent the people that HAVE TO PAY THEIR DUES WITH NO CHOICE!!!! It is just another BIG business getting richer by the day by the people they are suppose to represent and do not!
Most unions do not fight for wage increases for the people that pay them!! Rather they are, ‘in bed with the company’s people they ‘claim to work for.’ People do not even get Proper and Honest Representation when there is an investigation on staff. They meet with Administration both before and after the investigation, and the staff is, ‘sold down the river.’ They do not care about the people they claim to represent. The only thing important to them is getting paid by those that work for the company. And this is a monthly income given to them and they do not support the staff working for the company. It only is a means to supplement their income by more money each month.
Many go without raises each and every year, yet the cost of living increases each year along with health insurance.
It is BIG BUSINESS and the ones on top are getting fat from the money the members have to pay and are given not by choice about paying!!!!
Unions now days are VERY CORRUPT!!!!!!!
I
This is still President Obama’s economy so I just don’t get what the author is saying. Let’s see how the economy perform when he enters office especially 3 years after he enters office when I predict a meltdown a la Bush.
Our local’s officials in the, Transport Workers of America, were just married to Democratic politicians like Pelosi. They hit an all time low when we found a batch of bills in a copying machine from the officers’ unauthorized trip to that year’s Super bowl. They blew the entire treasury on this elitist trip that included a 4 star hotel; When confronted with the bills they were voted out. The laws making union membership mandatory caused the unions to stop working for the rank and file. They didn’t have to.
I was a union representative and was well liked by the mbership because I worked for them. The top union officials disliked me because I was honest with the members. I seen a lot of corruption in the international leaders. The problem is there is know way to stop it. The Department of Labor looks the other way because the DEM’s tell them too. The leadership doesn’t care about the members and actually joke about it behind closed doors. It truly is a shame because the members are honest hard working people just trying to survive.
I don’t know about you all, but I am extremely excited about what is in our nation’s future! I believe in what Mr. Trump and his team are doing to ALREADY be working on our goals with great success. Just imagine what it will be like once he finally takes office and has the power to make the needed changes to move our economy and country forward. From my viewpoint, he’s made some excellent cabinet choices. There are already staunch Democrats who are actually admitting that they think we will be better off with our new administration team. It can’t come soon enough for me.
Create jobs for Non Union sector, then NO Issue & let Unions ROT like DNC will.
Unions dont want jobs, the members do BUT bosses dont.
DONT aid Unions anymore.
Unions now are mostly irrevalent in the US and corrupt. I am a former member of the NJ Carpenter’s Union, any relative of a Union Officer is never out of work. If you are a Friend or Relative of a Union Officer you go to the front of the list to receive a job, you never put your name on the bottom of the list to receive a job like you are suppose to. Unions suck and are outdated. Around the turn of the last century was when the were needed but not now.
Union bosses may be furious over a Trump economy but not the average union worker. There is a complete disconnect between labor and those who claim to represent them. Union bosses are only concerned with lining their own packets.
Wouldn’t it be nice if one day we could get on The Horn and NOT see the names, clinton, obama, soros, and let’s not forget,, oracleguy. There are many more in the mix but these stand out. These people feed off of crime induced people in their circle of
criminal agenda’s.
My hope is we can look forward to seeing the positive side for many years to come like, Trump and Pence and the circle of positive get things done type folks, and then, all of America prospers.
I must say,, “We The People” finally awoke. THANK YOU MR.TRUMP,, for your sacrifice, SIR.
It would be a real step forward if the R’s can remove the closed shop the unions use to force membership and dues from employees in the private sector and ban the illegal, special interest gov unions…..State laws and federal have replaced the union issues to protect the employees both state and fed without extorting the employers and forcing shut downs to clip and gouge the taxpayers and public…..the gov unions make a already inefficient government unaffordable……..
I was an iron worker back in the 80s. We got a pay rise,I think it was .50 cents. 20 cents went on our check 20 cents went to health & welfare and 10 cents went in to the general fund.Now our local,[ local 454] along with all the boomers from back east to california , were around 2500 workers.Now take this times 15 cents , then times 8hrs. a day , then take that times 5 days a week , then that times just 20 days a month.. You’ll find it didn’t take long to build quite a pile of money. Our BA used his own car to make his rounds, visititg all the job sites, even bringing out a trunk full of tools we could buy, spud wrenches ,bull pins,sleaver bars and the like.But that soon ended,Wasn’t long after the money grew that the BA was riding in the back seat of a black lemo with his new assistant and of coarse a new driver, and no more trunk full of goodies to buy. He now came in a new suit and high end shoes,that he didn’t want to get dirty,so he only talked through the window to us.They kicked me out of a monthly meeting for bringing this up and asking just how much money was left in the general fund with bank proof. SO GO TRUMP GO !!!!!!!!!!
There seems to be a lot of lies in this article most probably because Horn News people assume that their readers are rabid Tea Party people who will believe anything positive that seems to put Hillary Clinton people in a negative light. I’ve just read an article that revealed that the most rabid Pro-Trump counties have the highest rates of drug, alcohol and suicide deaths. This Is terrible and its terrible to think that some people who voted for Trump have been seriously suffering. I’m glad I switched my party registration from Republican to Constitution Party on May 5th, the day after Trump was nominated and voted for Darrell Castle for President who received 200,000 national votes and was the only veteran of the military (Marines) nominated by any party. It’s not enough to hire veterans for cabinet positions, The President has to be a veteran to be a reliable President. When will the Constitution be amended to make this happen. Until then America is at risk of having to gamble on leaders who lack sufficient prior job experience.
There is still a lot of people out there going blind! They have already had the chance to see what the likes of Obama and Hillary could do for our nation…..less jobs,more terrorists,our nation deeper and deeper in debt, and the poor getting poorer while the GREEDY Government Officials are all getting richer!!! Why would we not want to give someone else a chance?
I think Donald Trump will run it more like a business, and be the best President we’ve had for a long time!!! Dave H.
My Daddy was a union man and my Mom held a union job also. To me about the only thing good out of it is retirement. But, in the long run that’s all the union jobs are good for. What needs to be done is stronger wage and hourly laws, and the way employees are treated enacted in Congress and the Senate. As of today our work laws are written to protect mostly child laborers. I don’t know that many children who work to make a living. Do you? Also the unions have closed more businesses than the ones who have prospered. The one thing that Obama took credit for that George W. Bush left open on his desk, was the bailout of the Auto Workers Union. I don’t know why any company would pay someone 275.00 an hour to drive a fork lift. Do you? That is the kind. Of wages the auto workers are making now. Which to me is ridiculous! This is why your average auto payments have sky rocketed, and auto loans are under water. Someone needs to stop this! NOW! The cost for a car surpassed the cost of some homes. We have resources in this country, unfortunately we have some of the greediest people on earth. I’m sure there’s a place in Hell waiting for all of them. People you need to wise up! Get with the program, we’ve elected someone who if given a chance will do for this nation what needs to be done! Believe me, I have nothing but respect for the unions. Especially the Teamsters! My Dad was one of the head banging ones! With the original Mr. Hoffa. But, going back to labor laws our government needs to enact labor laws to protect its citizens not just children.
Union Bosses? Why not just come out and call them what they are and always have been: Organized Crime??? OC never left this country they just went into the business of illegal Lords of Industry. You cannot go against these thugs without a war. Everything that PRESIDENT TRUMP does to counter act these creeps goes against their bank accounts and ungodly power and that is war.
UNIONS WERE STARTED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS, BUT SOON BECAME NOTHING MORE THAN ANOTHER “GANG”!
