Tom Corbett's economic recovery policy. Hey all you lazy bums. Get Back To Work!


Well I guess we can officially say that Tom Corbett strategy to solve the unemployment crisis in Pennsylvania as Governor is to simply tell people to stop being lazy and get back to work. In an interview with a public radio reporter last week Corbett stated the following about the state of unemployment in Pennsylvania and extending unemployment benefits for those who are currently out of work.
"The jobs are there. But if we keep extending unemployment, people are going to sit there."
So Corbett thinks that Pennsylvanians who are unemployed right now just don't want to work. Really! His comments are insensitive and are proof that he lacks the leadership qualities to be our next Governor. A politician running for any public office during one of the worst economic downturns in our country's history doesn't need to be saying that people who are unemployed right now are lazy and don't want to work.

Corbett must believe that President Obama's stimulus package really did create 400 million jobs and they are out there in the land of OZ somewhere. The fact is there are no jobs out there. Mr. Corbett it is time to start thinking about how you would create an environment in this state to create jobs not criticize people who lost their jobs. Something you should have done before running for Governor.

Corbett must be celebrating Christmas early this election year because he just gave Democratic candidate Dan Onorato an a neatly wrapped issue not to mention relevancy in this race. Onorato is knocking the crap out of Corbett for making these comments. Talk about taking a piece of meat out of someone running for office. I think Onorato just took a leg with the you tube video. This might just be Corbett's "I changed parties so I can get re-elected" moment in this campaign. If I was Onorato that would be the only ad that I would run from now until November.

Then to add fuel to the fire we at the PennPatriot compound have found out that Corbett is now lying about the context of the comments. Hattip Shelley Castetter of the Lancaster Express click here and also check out John Micek of Capitol Ideas blog. Click Here

O.K. I am now officially writing in Sam Rohrer for Governor in November.

    Nice to see you condemn this idiotic behavior.

    This graph paints the picture that Corbett really doesn't have a clue.
