LePage Schedules July's Job Creation Workshops

Is anyone still paying attention to him?

As much as we paid attention to Baldacci, at his job workshops, if he had any.

I did not know that this was a compraritive analysis. The best you have is that your guy does not suck as bad as the previous guy? Do you hold that same standard to POTUS?

The only jobs Baldacci created were when he added more drones to the hive in Augusta. In the end he had to get rid of the added drones because the workers in the private sector couldn't make enough to support them.

The usual emphasis on high tech and associating that with manufacturing. That generally means high paying jobs for those with college degrees That is good for those that fit that category but the economy cant be made up of an entire population making an upper middle class income- and worse an entire society that expects that the starting salary should be equitable to an upper middle class income - a concept furthered by our legislature when it reports that it is creating "quality jobs", by which it means jobs the highest pay in the state and the best benefits. I personally find that government favoritism of selected sectors of the economy is detrimental to the rest of the economy and equating "quality jobs" with pay and worker benefits furthers a poor work ethic.

Hopefully the Lepage forums will not also be pushing the "social benefit" agenda. That at least would be an improvement over the Baldacci administration, especially since government ideas about what serves the "social benefit" are so narrowly defined- you might as well call it the eco-theocracy.
