The hypocrisy never ends...but yeah let’s kill 20,000 jobs the first week while hiring a guy to lead the climate fight whose Private jets emit up to 40 times more carbon per passenger than commercial plane.

It’s as dumb as thinking killing the keystone pipeline means somehow means the wells stop...those wells never stop pumping but now it’s transported by oil trucks and rail....you guessed it, at a carbon footprint thousand times more damaging to the environment.
So you think Kerrys Jet was doing as much harm to the environment as a pipeline being built threw National Monuments and Parks? You talk jobs but again I will ask you chico why did you keep your mouth shut with the tariffs trump put China that hurt our workers?Steel and Farmers were hurt 200,000 stell workers have been hurt ,what about them?

President Trump's tariffs are harming the sector he pledged in 2016 to protect, according to a recent Federal Reserve study.
The president's 2018 tariffs fueled job loss throughout the ailing manufacturing industry and increased input costs, the December 23 study said.
The duties did provide some import protection to US-based firms, but any benefits were outweighed by boosted production expenses and retaliatory tariffs, the Fed added.
The findings come as the US manufacturing sector remains mired in recession and a separate report says 2019 brought the most job cuts in four years.

The Fed study, published December 23, explains how tariffs implemented in 2018 fueled job loss and increased input costs across US manufacturers. While the duties did provide some benefits to domestic firms, the negative effects outweighed the positive ones and harmed an already-ailing sector, the Fed wrote.

"For manufacturing employment, a small boost from the import protection effect of tariffs is more than offset by larger drags from the effects of rising input costs and retaliatory tariffs," authors Aaron Flaaen and Justin Pierce wrote. "For producer prices, the effect of tariffs is mediated solely through rising input costs."
The central bank noted that global supply chains also complicate the traditional utility of tariffs and other trade policy tools. The typical benefit of import protection fades away in today's global economy, according to the Fed, since reduced competition and higher production costs present greater harm in the short term.
