wow joe thanks for letting me know the recession was over in 2009. i didnt know that . guess the liberal news i listen to, cnn and nbc didnt tell me this. or all the unemployed i know went back to work secretly. as far as taxes we all pay too much. too much wasted spending. i once again point to the hole under the river. why did it get built? the port auth is in debt, bridges falling apart but the wise and noble politcians build a tunnel so people can get in and out of football games easier?? and of course it goes way over budget! lets stop the waste and lower our taxes, eevry year .and the stimulas paved streets in hollywood , fixed sidewalks in puerto rice,restored wetlands in nancy pelosi's district,,and bailed out the overbudget pittsburg river hole. none of which improved infrastruture or created any real jobs. wake up joe
