Wanna know *why* Illinois has such a higher rate of unemployment,
hmmmmmm?
Here's your answer:

Governor=Democrat
Lt. Govenor=Democrat
State House= Controlled by Democrats
State Senate= Controlled by Democrats Mayor of Chicago=Democrat

Ever wonder why the states that are run by Democrats seem to have the
worst economies and worst financial crises? You can't tax the hell
out
of
businesses and then expect them to set up shop in your state.

That must be why Texas' unemployment rate is 6.3%. Oops, Texas is
controlled by Republicans.

And Alaska's is 7.3%. Oops, another Republican state.

And then there is Maryland, 3.8%. Yup, it's a Democratic state.

Our current governor in Maryland is a Republican. The two previous
elections
for governor were extremely close. The former Speaker of the Maryland
House,
a Democrat, was left wondering why he lost his seat in the last election.
It
was a coattails effect of ensuring the election of a Republican to the
highest office.


Bert,
You have a state that: (a) doesn't have an immigration problem, and (b) has
a favorable climate for business. Trying to compare Texas or Alaska to
Maryland is a ridiculous stretch on thunder's part.
