Perhaps it is, though the efforts of the Governator likely had much to do with that. Even so, my point was not that things had not changed but how effective was it. According to their own data only 100,000 jobs were created. Which is not enough to create the change in the map that it states. Further the jobs cost $53,000 on average. So unless every dollar went to the employee, there was massive waste. Which says nothing if that the same money, used to create small businesses that create long lasting real jobs (IE jobs that don't go away once the Government funding goes away), is more efficient and real. or do you think everyone should work for the Government? Paul,
