re: #179 dangerman-call me sandy, not a drink named Steve

so they gave away the tax breaks and didnt require performance? wow

IIRC, Scott Walker and the WI GOP were so desperate to come up with ANY sort of big-money high-tech deal, they gave the shop away to the Chinese, decided to rely on Foxconn’s (unspecific) “projections” as to expansion, and when questioned about the particulars (especially the upfront money), reacted in the usual Republican style: I.e., dismiss, ignore and vilify any opponents, harp on the “jobs, jobs, jobs” theme, and then go ahead and approve the deal anyway.

I guess 1000 jobs at their plant is better than no jobs, but it’s still a far cry from the “13,000” Walker loved to bray about.
