helping out YOUR economy.

Definitely not mine. I live near the border and the economy here is about the worst of anywhere in the US. Wages were dropping when they were rising in other places, there's a 38% high school drop-out rate. The unemployment rate is 2-3 times higher than the rest of the US, and yet property taxes are sky high and climbing. One thing though which is very nice, the violent crime rate is actually very low.
