[chefdennis]

OPPS!! We talked about the closing of the Evansville plant a month or so ago...looks like barry hasn't done what he said he would as to keeping companies from taking jobs out of the country...just another lie to the people....

What do you want to bet that when the new factory is up and running, more jobs will go down there from right here in the good ole USA....

Whirlpool will build $55 million plant, employ 1,100 in northern Mexico Evansville Courier & Press

Whirlpool Corp.'s division in Mexico has announced it will build a $55 million plant in the northern city of Apodaca, employing 1,100 people.

That number may sound familiar. The appliance maker announced in August it was shutting down its Evansville manufacturing line in mid-2010 and moving it to Mexico. Evansville's line employs 1,100 people.

Jill Saletta, director of external relations for Whirlpool, confirmed in a statement Friday that the jobs being created in Apodaca are those from the Evansville plant.

"As announced in August, the production of refrigerators currently made at Evansville, and the 1,110 jobs associated with that production, would be transitioning to one of our existing facilities in Mexico, which would be named later," she said. "Yesterday, our Supsa plant, located in Apodaca County, Monterrey, made the announcement that the production and associated jobs would be going to that location."

According to a report on the Web site tradingmarkets.com, the Mexican plant will begin production in 2010 and produce 18- and 23-cubic-foot refrigerators for "both the domestic market and export," according to the report.

Apodaca is a city of 393,000 people about 100 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border at Nuevo Laredo.

A lie ?

Company X moves operations to Mexico to increase profit margins for all their shareholders. Where is it that the President has power to stop company X from doing that ? Should a President have the power to stop such a move ?

The President lied ??

yes a lie... 1st he said he was going to force a re working of NAFTA to take away any advantage a company would have to leave and he also said he would pentalize "tax" any company that did this...he lied...

Now i didn't say he should have the ability to do it, all i said was that he lied to the people, as a way to get elected...he has no intention of penalizing anyne and Canada made him well aware that NAFTA was off limits and don't even think about screwing with it, even before he was elected, but he still stated that NAFTA was open to being reworked , and Hilary spoke the same thing after the election and they were bith told to back off...

barry knew he was just running his mouth as part of his "hope and change" b/s lies.....

and just for the record, no, no elected offical should have the power to stop a company from doing anything they want as long as it is a legal act.....but then again barry as used the Constitution to walk on in his dealings with the auto business and the banking industry and the insurance industry ....
