Hoosiers are STILL watching from the corrupt Daniels, to the uber-corrupt Ballad, to the dunderheaded Pence world tours... all these junkets are fool&#39;s gold errands. Meaningful, gainful employment rarely comes from these trips to Asia or Europe.<br /><br />But they sure do bring us crap like Vision Fleet, rent a bikes, and Blue Indy. The billionaire corporatists on the other side of the globe know the key ingredient to these types of deals is to find a corrupt politician like Greg Ballard they can buy and buy completely.<br /><br />Excuse me 5:26 if I laugh my rear end off at your &quot;wait for it.... wait for it... wait for it...&quot; belief system. Jesus Christ&#39;s Second Coming will occur before any meaningful, long-term, gainful employment comes from Pence&#39;s latest junket to the failing and falling Red Sun Nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-86687427138011137072015-09-12T08:37:41.450-05:002015-09-12T08:37:41.450-05:00&quot;Brenda Morrissey, Office of the First Lady&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Why is someone from the First Lady&#39;s Office going on this trip?&quot;<br /><br />Why on earth does any First Lady (or First Man) need with an &quot;office&quot; and its corresponding entourage whether her/his last name is Obama, Pence, or Clinton??Sir Hailstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301073859882785758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-31538192697775729642015-09-12T07:22:13.271-05:002015-09-12T07:22:13.271-05:00The Chamber&#39;s mission has been lost to statism; lobby folded into the lipid layers of morbidly proportioned, blubber-mint. &quot;Economic development&quot; agencies within the state are extraneous / unConstitutional versions of what&#39;s supposed to be the Chamber; another statist deception that government can be something it&#39;s not.<br /><br />Legitimate, Constitutionally attempted / reconciled government would require no pretense of bureaucrat to bureaucrat &quot;marketing.&quot; The private / productive sector would get the word out efficiently in real time &amp; the free market would respond in like kind. This stuff&#39;s only or unnaturally &quot;hard,&quot; when bureaucrats attempt to prop up inner circle / limited circulation / club fed, statism.

Companies based in Japan employ a significant number of Hoosiers. These relationships need to be nurtured in order to maintain and expand these jobs. I believe you will see real results from this trip--just watch closely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-52450892819431127552015-09-11T20:51:07.486-05:002015-09-11T20:51:07.486-05:00Anon 6:45 makes the excellent point... in essence, there is absolutely no reason for these junkets to Japan. Japan, like the US, is a nation which is basically bankrupt. Japan is in negative birthrate replacement and the number of producers who much support the non-producers (retirees or those in &quot;social nets&quot;) is shrinking, the young have nowhere near the work ethic of their ancestors. In essence, Japan is a nation in serious decline.<br /><br />These junkets, whether Pence or the uber-corrupt Ballard, have zero to do with &quot;creating jobs&quot; [which only &quot;business&quot; can do] and everything to do with crony connections and sychophants&#39; entres to opportunities.<br /><br />This Republican has come to agree that &quot;Pence Must Go&quot;... and not to Japan, but to permanent political retirement. Pence proves the Peter Principle daily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-20307457733541608482015-09-11T19:21:31.997-05:002015-09-11T19:21:31.997-05:00Didn&#39;t Mitchie the Kid take these kind of trips too???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-23008765275998287872015-09-11T18:45:34.384-05:002015-09-11T18:45:34.384-05:00Japan was hot in the 1970s and early 1980s.
