Whirlpool to ruin city's economy

The job slashers are at it again.

Whirlpool plans to close its refrigerator factory in Evansville, Indiana. This will put 1,100 workers at this plant out of work, as the jobs are shipped to Mexico.

First thing we need to do is repeal NAFTA. But since you read this blog, you knew that.

Next thing that needs to happen is for the state of Indiana to block the job cuts. Connecticut attempted to block AT&T's job cuts, so there's certainly a precedent.

What's most outrageous is that Whirlpool got $19,000,000 in economic recovery money from U.S. taxpayers. This money was supposed to be used to help America's economy. Instead they're shipping jobs out of the country.

Whirlpool accepts taxpayers' money, so the state of Indiana has every right to tell the company that it can't cut jobs. Every damn right.

The other side has no business attacking people on welfare, as long as companies are able to slash jobs just because.
