Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn plans to build an LCD panel manufacturing facility in the southeastern Wisconsin village of Mount Pleasant, local officials announced Wednesday.

The announcement comes just a few weeks after Gov. Scott Walker signed into law a $3 billion incentive package for the company, on track to be the largest subsidy to a foreign company in U.S. history.

They can buy the ones deployed at the old DOT building from when ACT 10 was passed, before the most at risk employees took early retirement.

Good

Now if Trump's tax reduction plan passes that will bring back a lot of businesses and companies back to the USA. Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20% which would grow the economy tremendously. Trump wanted to reduce it to 15% but had to compromise with donor owned Republicans.

Trump has already reduced government regulations at clip faster than Reagan did and against Soros’ and democrat funded lawsuits to stop every one. This is why the economy is doing great now.

Obama was adding 97 pages of government regulations per year , including starting to regulate the Internet. Trump stopped that bit of socialism saving America :

Hillary would have continued obama’s destructive policies. We dodged a bullet.

Are they going to surround it with anti-suicide nets like the ones in China?

This is an LCD plant...

Requires a lot of specialized glass sheet..so will benefit US manufacturers.

Making glass sheet is energy intensive

Thank Trumps Energy Policy for lowering cost of energy

Result: Competitive advantage for US glass sheet manufacturers

Also all the specialized equipment the goes int the factory....and a lot of Robotics.

Finally the raw materias...chemicals, gases etc...all of high purity...big benefit to US material suppliers.

So there is a BIG Knock On Demand from the supporting infrastructure.

Big WIN for the US companies and JOBS creation.

MAGA Rules Already,

And the first step in place to commence robotic assembly of Apple iPhones....and other similar products IN THE USA.

Think about it ...the screen that you see in a smart phone is a big part of the cost of the phone

Rest is a few complex chips (made by Intel)...battery and case.

The MAGA is strong with this one.

Although true that much of the iPhone is done overseas, there are many components of the iPhone already done here in the USA. Corning is a major supplier of the glass. Many of the chips in the iPhone are designed and made here in the USA. Apple has nearly two-thirds of their worldwide employees working here in the USA. Can't be said of other smart phone makers. Foxconn building here will increase the USA-content of iPhones, way beyond other popular smart phones.

It’s a subsidy when the tax cuts are available only to Foxconn.

We spent $3 bil going down this rat hole in NYS.

Aside from my objections to the crony capitalism, I have one other problem with it: It. Does. Not Work.

NY can recove all that and more

Just allow Fracking, pipelines and exploration, free up land for drilling

Jobs and revenue will grow rapidly....

Nice...I believe we created more jobs so far than O did in 8 years. Imagine what would happen if we had real REPUBLICANS in DC...
