The agreement does guarantee that Carrier, a unit of United Technologies Corp., will continue to employ at least 1,069 people at the Indianapolis plant for 10 years in exchange for up to $7 million in incentives. In addition, the company has promised to invest $16 million in the facility.
But fewer than 800 of those 1,069 jobs — 730 to be exact — are the manufacturing jobs that were always at the heart of the debate. The rest are engineering and technical jobs that were never scheduled to be cut.
this is why we need to bring back import tariffs, to include( or especially) for us manufacturers that have factories and assembly plants overseas

3 decades. Assuming you mean back to 1987 (late Reagan Era), what has either he or the Bushes done to stop outsourcing abroad. Nothing! Both parties are in the hip pocket of corporate global interests.
