I'm here to tell ya,boys and girls,that the movers and shakers of this state (both in and out of politics) are *genuinely* clueless as to why this state is losing population.
But after a thorough scouring of graveyards and foreign countries far and wide,they will find a million or more additional residents.
Watch for MA to gain three Congressional seats after the 2010 Census!
They may count the same people twice, too.
Connecticut is losing also. The Carolinas are the place of choice.
I disagree that they are clueless, I think they know full well why everyone is leaving. They have also become fluent in liberal speak, so they can feign ignorance on any number of subjects very well. But come on, NO ONE is that stupid!
They can talk the talk very convincingly, but I don't buy it. Obviously they can't come out and SAY why, but they know. MA has become a very hostile environment for anyone right of the far left. People are just plain sick and tired of the elephant in the room, the same elephant these liberals refuse to admit is there.
