SC, Haley scores economic victory over NC, luring 7,000 jobs!

SC won a projected 7,000 jobs from a new tire manufacturing plant and two relocated Charlotte.
Take a bow Gov. Haley.
We need those jobs. 
 The coup, announced last week, was largely based on the Palmetto State’s fiscally strong position to offer incentives that North Carolina was not able to match.
South Carolina has become a major player in bringing in jobs, while other states are not as good, or lose jobs.
Amazon came to Lexington County in 2011, amid attacks over incentives. But the giant on-line retailer has more than fulfilled its promises of 2,000 jobs, and delivered far more in benefits to the state, and Lexington County, than it was given to come. 
Lexington has the state's lowest unemployment rate, and is growing at a break-neck pace. 
The same benefit is true from Boein  in Charleston County, after South Carolina officials fought the union-friendly and liberal Obama Administration for those jobs.  
The State newspaper's headline, regarding the new jobs announcement this week, seems to be trying to bash South Carolina and Republican Gov. Nikki Haley because it wrested the 7,000 jobs from North Carolina.
But the media's attack is foolhardy.
The three companies now coming to the state are: Giti Tire and the Lash Group and LPL Financial.
The new jobs were secured for York and Chester counties. It is a potential of 7,000 with expansion.
Good job to South Carolina for enticing this job-provider. In Obama's horrible economy, we needed these jobs more than ever.
The $39 million is a pittance for all the jobs, tax revenue and residual businesses that investment will attract.
Obama invests trillions in food stamps, welfare and Medicaid...and all the recipients do is demand more.
South Carolina was able to out-recruit it's large and more-revered neighbor to the north.
Good job South Carolina for enticing this job-provider. In Obama's horrible economy, we needed this more than ever.
