Regular readers of the Pittsburgh Business Times will recognize their take (and that of most of the slow-witted “business leaders” whom they choose to interview) is that of “What is the Government going to do to fix this economy? What is the Government going to do to create jobs here? What is the Government going to do for ME and MY COMPANY today?”
We don’t really have entrepreneurs in this town...just a lotta people who sit around all day with their thumbs up their rear ends, waiting for Government to come along and make it all better. Pathetic!
“What is the Government going to do to fix this economy? What is the Government going to do to create jobs here? What is the Government going to do for ME and MY COMPANY today?”
The Federal Government owes jobs to Pittsburgh because the government destroyed Pittsbugh's economy with harsh air and water pollution standards and then imported cheap crap steel from countries that don't have to meet the same standards.
It's the Fedgov's fault. The Fedgov owes it to the 'Burgh.
And to think that this was once a city that was home to many national corporate headquarters - Alcoa, U.S. Steel, Koppers, Gulf Oil - and provided thousands of jobs for the citizens of the area.
