Ford Motor Company has announced it will doubling production capacity at a...

* WAIT FOR IT... WAIT FOR IT...

(*DRUM ROLL*)

...Mexico factory, instead of enlarging U.S. factories.

* HOW'S THAT "FREE TRADE" WORKING OUT FOR US?

(*SPITTING ON THE GROUND*)

The new factory will manufacture hybrid autos with gasoline and electric engines, whose development has been partly funded by U.S. taxpayers via federal research programs.

(*SARCASTIC CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*)

Insiders say Ford will spend $1 billion to build the expansion factory...

* ONE MORE TIME, FOLKS... (KEEP READING...)

...in Mexico.

(*PURSED LIPS*)

That’s in addition to the $2.5 billion already earmarked for expansion in the neighboring nation.

(*MORE SARCASTIC APPLAUSE*)

Ford rival General Motors is planning a $5 billion expansion in Mexico.

(*STANDING TO SARCASTICALLY APPLAUD*)

But American automakers aren’t alone. New facilities are also being built in Mexico by BMW AG, Volkswagen AG, Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motors.

* IN MEXICO - NOT AMERICA.

All these announcements come on the heels of new deals that offer higher wages for today’s workers, represented by the United Auto Workers union.

* IT'S NOT JUST WAGES. IT'S RED TAPE... GOVERNMENT OVER-REGULATION...

(*SIGH*)

To date every GOP presidential candidate has made a firm announcement on where they stand on TPP except Florida Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)...

(*SMIRK*)

Rubio voted “yes” to fast track the deal. Though he hasn’t explicitly said how he will vote on the final deal, Rubio did say that TPP is one of the pillars in his “three-pillar foreign policy strategy,” so even as he hasn’t said if he will vote in favor of the plan his actions seem to point to his support for the measure.

(*SMIRK*)

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, though, has been unequivocal on TPP. He is against it. Last week Trump called the plan “a terrible deal” for the United States because it is a jobs killer.

* AS IS CRUZ! (FUNNY THE BREITBART FAILS TO MENTION THIS...)
