I'd sure like to know where those jobs are. Too many people I know have been laid off or downsized in their jobs. I also know of several families who have had to leave the State due to job losses etc.
We continue to be lied to by the government as to what they have done for us. So far all I see is that they have "done to us" with Obama Care and all the bail outs that we will have to pay for. Don't tell me we won't see our taxes go up for middle class families.
