Dear Mr. President,
I just can't let this jobs thing go. The more I learn the more disgusted I get
with you and your hypocrisy and empty promises.
I'm reading less and less from the mainstream news lately because they
are giving way too much attention to
your tweets and personal behavior. Instead, I'm reading more and more from the
financial/economic news and it's like night and day.
For instance, this morning I read that the Boeing plant in
South Carolina is cutting 200 jobs (mostly engineers). This is the exact plant where you
went in February and said, "We are going to fight for every last American
job. Jobs is one of the primary reasons
I'm standing here today as your president and I will never, ever disappoint
you."
That was your rhetoric in February, but here are the facts
in June:
-Boeing
South Carolina eliminating 200 jobs this month
-Boeing
California eliminating 561 jobs (across 3 factories) over the next few months
-GM plant
in Landstown, Ohio eliminated its third shift and laid off 1,200 workers on Jan 20
(that was your
inauguration day by the way)
-Ivanka
Trump brand shoes being manufactured in China (because cheap labor trumps
American idealism…profits
before people, right?)
All of these lay-offs despite your promises to boost
manufacturing and support the American worker are disgusting. Hopefully soon the mainstream news outlets
will get bored with your antics and realize that the real story is in the
economy and they will turn their attention there. I can't wait.
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
