The thing that always annoys me about these articles is that they frame these "costs" as money the government would otherwise have, if they hadn't given it to these greedy companies. It depends on exactly how the deals are structured, but when these are structured with nonrefundable tax credits tied to jobs numbers or as lower rates, then these deals start to look far better for governments. Journalists should stop writing these lazy articles and start digging into the details of these deals so that people know what the right questions they should be asking are, rather than staking out partisan positions.
