220,000 Maryland residents are actively looking work. The National Unemployment rate is at 10%. One issue is that many businesses did not add on as much extra help during the Holiday, opting to go for a leaner approach.
We were told the Obama Stimulus plan was to create real jobs and lift us out of the depression we were quickly approaching. All we have seen is unemployment go, government spending going up, and businesses bracing for an expensive Healthcare package.
At some point the Piper must be paid. Baby Boomers are approaching retirement, Social Security is approaching failure, Unemployment is rising, we are fighting two expensive wars, and government leaders are looking for everyway possible to squeeze taxpayers last pennies out of their wallets. The near and distant future are not looking to pretty, and the Piper Must Be Paid (the inflation Piper that is.)
The current governor certainly has done nothing but raise taxes. He has no plan to improve the economy of this state.
