Carrier workers facing layoffs feel betrayed by Trump

A promise made before Christmas is fizzling before the Fourth of July.

In December, then-President-elect Trump told hundreds of workers at the Carrier manufacturing plant that he had worked out a deal to save their jobs.

But it's not working out that way. A steady downpour today did little to wash away the fact that the jobs of 600 union employees are going south.....

Suckers.

They should have figured out themselves that Trump had no power to do as he 'promised'.

But - he was going to save them.... and so, he became their champion.

And so now, when reality comes home to roost - is the season of their bitter discontent.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

But he said the government was going to be here to help!

Wonder why the do not vent on their employer rather than some government entity.
