Johnson / Clark Griswold video February 8 2010
The Steve Johnson Lt. Gov campaign put this out:
Among the more interesting factoids spliced into the video tour of Pennsylvania…
-PA ranks #2 in economic development spending, but -
-PA ranks 45th in job growth, and
-PA ranks 46th in personal income growth.
I would like to see some Republican candidates use the words “corporate welfare”, which for the most part is really what “economic development” constitutes. I can’t imagine a polled message test against “corporate welfare” wouldn’t do extremely well.
Nobody should be for corporate welfare. Not the anti-corporate lefties, not the free-market types. Only the insiders, cronies, and arrogant Master of the Universe politicians. Economic development corporate welfare is immoral and ineffective. It punishes everybody, including other businesses, to reward the chosen few. It is a fundamentally destructive force in our state economy.
I know some are saying this race is down to Cawley and Watkins, but Johnson has really been showing some good instincts lately.
