Corbett, I believe, will turn out to be a disappointment. He’s already wavering on ObamaCare. My state has a hard time electing true leaders.

A Rendell — and now Corbett — Bailout: Building Ships With No Buyers

On February 17, Governor Tom Corbett authorized the $42 million shipyard bailout. Two ships will now be constructed — even though there are no buyers, nor any in the foreseeable future — and hundreds of union jobs will now be subsidized. So much for the pledge of responsible government and fiscal restraint, especially in light of the $5 billion budget deficit. The wildly successful model that Gov. Christie has given his colleagues — popularity will rise if you stick to your campaign promises — is, incomprehensibly, falling on deaf ears. http://www.wopular.com/rendell-and-now-corbett-bailout-building-ships-no-buyers

Corbett will instead focus on upcoming negotiations with state employee unions whose contracts expire at the end of the year,

Which of course means that he will do nothing at all.
Pa. needs someone to step up and kick ass, not another Arnold.

>The lower people’s wages are, the less money they have to spend on the goods that fuel the nation’s economic health, he said.

Not only BS but an abject lie.

That money comes from OTHER workers whose wages & benefits are well under public sector, and THAT means less money to buy goods and services by everyone else.

The state cannot print money and the rest are just serfs and wage slaves whose function is to pay the endless demands of union organizers forever.

Looks like he will end up just another Harrisburg Whore; and in short order.

People in PA need to make this Corbett step up or start packin’ his bags and have them ready in 2014 to leave office.

Pressure this weiner.
