Do you mean the kind of jobs where 1 in 5 adults in the USA have to have food stamps to make it through the month? That was the Potemkin economy that Obama brought us.

I said many many times that jobs would cost the Democrats the presidency. I was proved right on that one. If the economy was good under Obama for the average person, they would not have been completely routed from power in more than 1000 state and federal elected positions.

This announcement good well paying jobs is how Trump is changing things.

Correction: This project was started by Exxon in 2013....under the Obama Administration.

I refuse to believe Trump supporters are this dense.

There is just no way.

I'm not in the know about these projects, but personally I do not think it's a good thing...especially under the deregulated environment republicans are striving for.

So? Many corporations have projects that are years in the making that never see the light of day.

It saw the light of day once Trump was elected. It's clear enough they wouldn't announce it under Obama or if Hillary had been elected.
