Gregoire wrote an ideas piece that draws a parallel between FDR's New Deal and Obama's stimulus plan. She touts it as a plan that will help save and create jobs and create future prosperity. She gives credit to FDR's New Deal as providing 75 years of prosperity.
Governor Christine Gregoire has it wrong. FDR's new deal was failing and it was WWII that scholars argue pulled us out of the great depression. Until we lift the burden from small businesses and start creating wealth, will we pull out of this depression (yes it's a depression, the reporting just hasn't caught up yet).
Christine Gregoire ran Washington State into our largest deficit ever. Now reported at over $8 billion, Gregoire is excited about any bailout from President Obama. The saving and creating jobs will be government jobs. I say we already have enough government jobs. It's time to start cuttingPublish Post them. Government jobs for the first time, outpaced industrial and construction jobs combined. The stimulus plan will only increase that gap.
Christine Gregoire needs to take a lesson from Bobby Jendal: run your state on a balanced budget and refuse the stimulus money from Obama.
