Obama admin pressuring US companies?

[herdfan429]

New Balance is claiming that the Obama admin told them to stay quiet on the TPP trade deal in exchange for a DoD contract.

There has to be some proof because for new balance to accuse the admin of this makes absolutely NO business sense.

The real reason is black people don't like New Balance shoes.

This is a great story for the Obama haters, until the realize NB already makes shoes overseas. The ones I am wearing this very moment were made in Mexico, that should rile up the Trump backers.

I think just about everyone knows that tennis shoes are made overseas. New balance makes I believe 20% of their shoes in the states with plans in increase that number

At one time NB made all their shoes in the US. Then they made 70% in the US. Now it is 20%. So yeah, some people might be surprised they are down to 20%.

If North Carolina will drop it's pay scale to match that of Singapore, Paypal will move there tomorrow.

That's pretty much true for any well-to-do corporation. But that's not the point. I'm suggesting you drop the wages in NC so you can get Paypal to change their mind and set up there.

That would require extra to leave Out Wayne. That won't happen

Is Charlotte and Raleigh the only 2 cities you have? There are 35 states with lower unemployment than NC.
