Yeah, for those who don't know Cheektowaga, it's a suburb of Buffalo. In the eighties, GM was Buffalo's largest employer with 10,000 employees. Today it has about 1,000. The largest employer today, of course, is the government.

The libs who run the place call that "diversifying" the economy. Their other funny one is that Buffalo is recession-proof -- probably because we're always in one.
