Questionable deal?

[Rick Rowlands]

JOBS are a politician's crack cocaine!  If you come into town and wave the word JOBS in front of just about any politician, they will say or do just about anything, and the ability to think rationally or exercise due diligence flies out the window. It is fun to watch, but sad in that our elected officials have to stoop so low.

I think today's phrase of the day should be.... "DUE DILIGENCE"

The pie in the sky approach is always accepted by the gullible while the small businessman gets sent to Dr. Rear Admiral.

I cannot understand why anyone got their hopes up on this in the first place.  Once you read the part about needing government money just to get started that should have told you that these people are full of S**T!

Who actually believes that a small time operator from Pittsburgh with no real backing is going to pull off building a steel plant TWICE AS LARGE as what is being built by V&M Star?  The politicians of this area are so desperate for JOBS that they will believe anything!
