What huge tax incentives? $7 million over 10 years for 1,100 jobs.

Those jobs are worth half a billion dollars in income over ten years. That income generates local, state and federal taxes and supports the local economy. If the pittance of $700k per year was a clincher, it's beyond a good deal in every possible regard.

Why didn't Pence do that years ago then? It also wasn't 1,100 jobs. And there is no promise that those jobs will remain for 10 years.

Maybe Trump is just actually good at negotiating like you'd expect a NY real-estate mogul to be. He might say dumb stuff but you have to admit, it isn't easy succeeding the Manhattan 5th ave. type real-estate.

The problem is he is a real-estate mogul. Manufacturing is a whole different thing.
