OT--Bush favorability up, Kerry's down

When Boeing was blackmailing several states simultaneously, our sell-out
Democratic Governor and state legislators panicked and reduced Boeing's taxes
with a package worth over $3 billion over the next few years. The payoff to the
state?
We just heard that Boeing is going to hire 2000 people here, at probably $50k a
year average apiece. In other words, if the rest of the taxpayers in the state
will pay more money or forego enough services to subsidize Boeing for $3
billion, Boeing will see that we get a tiny fraction of that money back in
wages.
The lawmakers who supported granting the corporate welfare to Boeing are
probably high on the list of people working to make the state "favorable" for
business. :-(
I love to watch liberals spin. If your officials had told Boeing to
take some Heinz ketchup, and "shove it" instead, and Boeing then left
the area, you would be here right now bemoaning the loss of jobs, and
as an added touch, would probably blame it on Bush!
