Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.

The Warrior Monk, James Mattis, is an excellent nominee to be Defense Secretary. It just goes to show even Trump can get one right.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016
In the Carrier situation, Trump is imitating the failed precedent of these tactics in places like France and Brazil. It violates rule of law— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016

State wheeling & dealing (of which Trump approves, e.g., IN's tax breaks for Carrier) is inefficient, ineffective, violates equal protection— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016
It's not just that Trump's thuggish business bashing is immoral and violates Presidential authority, it treats the symptoms, not the disease— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016
In context, the 1100 Carrier jobs "saved" by Trump is trivial in an economy with 158M jobs. Millions of jobs are lost and created in the US.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016
Trump oils the squeaky wheel of the politically connected few, like Carrier workers. Do you think that he gives a damn about small business?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016
A large proportion of new jobs are generated by small businesses--hobbled by govt red tape, taxes and regulations. No press or lobbyists.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016

Trump's wheeling and dealing on Carrier to "save" jobs benefits the few (temporarily) at the expense of the many (the American consumer).— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016
Luddite politicians like Trump can't hold back economic progress: lost blacksmith jobs, telephone operators, postal workers, etc.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016
Trump needs to be concerned less with retaining obsoleted lower-paying, tedious work and more with improving conditions for new businesses.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016
Pence:The Free Market Has Been Sorting It Out and America’s Been Losing. Bush: I've abandoned free-market principles to save the FM system.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016
Pence's clueless quote on the free market proves that he is no more a principled conservative than economic illiterate "progressive" Dems.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) December 2, 2016
Trump's Deal on Carrier
I will comment on this deplorable deal in a future post. I'm actually surprised that Acton Institute, which is one of my favored free market think tanks, was presented as supporting the decision. To be honest, the Acton rep spent more time talking about Trump's more business-friendly proposals, like tax cuts and regulatory reform. The WSJ discussant was spot on across the board.Politicians vs. Economic Progress
GMO Protesters vs. Scientific Progress
