The public is being kept in the dark about Trumps deal with Carrier

Trump and Pence’s direct involvement, however, elevates the urgency for transparency, said Alex Howard, deputy director at the Sunlight Foundation, an open-government advocacy group.

“If there is negotiation going on between the elected representative of the people's interest and corporations, then that activity should be disclosed,” Howard said. “There should be a clear accounting of what was said and to whom and what kind of leverage was used. We can’t know if someone negotiated in good faith because we simply don't have that disclosure.”

Trump just took the credit for it
and he probably lost more jobs than they saved
just corporate welfare
and we all know how the republicans hate welfare
