See if you can spot the double dose of irony...

It’s happening across America—factories are picking up and moving somewhere the labor’s cheaper…all the factories are moving jobs outside the U.S. ...

Whirlpool also received $19 million as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to build more energy efficient and green appliances. But it is spending $110 million to build a new plant in Mexico. At last month’s rally that drew more than 5,000 people, IUE-CWA President Jim Clark said:

Whirlpool is a bad corporate citizen who is twisting this country’s desire to reduce energy usage and using it to export jobs. We are pushing hard to ensure that good intentions on going green don’t help fund loss of good manufacturing jobs.

Heh. A Union thug decrying Whirlpool's legitimate business decision to move away from the Leftist-controlled Social Democrat anti-business climate in New (CHANGEd!) America! Whirlpool is scrabbling to stay in business in the face of ever-increasing Union worker's demands, the new HealthCare laws (that, surprisingly! are under fire from companies such as John Deere and AT&T), and the Al Gore Global Warmalism-influenced anti-business climate that's clouding our future, and all the other new pro-labor anti-business laws that are so devastating to American industry.

I don't blame 'em for wanting out. With Social Democrats in charge, who wants to stick around for the inevitable collapse?

Hopefully, the ones out of jobs first will be those zeros who voted these new Social Democrats into power. Serves 'em right, to have to suffer first.

UPDATE

Found this (h/t Billy Beck)...

Obama is not worried that the American economy is slow to recover; he’s worried that it will recover. And he is doing everything conceivable to see that it doesn’t. Adding an unaffordable entitlement to already bankrupt entitlements; making energy unaffordable; raising taxes; harassing business; growing government while the economy shrinks; shrinking the economy while government grows; and most important of all, draining the wealth out of the middle class. Squeezing the last savings and remaining asset value out of them. He has the public employee unions living large in lean times, and their mission, from his point of view, is to scavenge whatever meat remains from the bones.

Oh. And, TANSTAAFL.
