MOODY’S STRIKE AGAIN

THIS TIME IN PENNSYLVANIA

Moody's Investors Service downgraded Pennsylvania's general obligation bonds and appropriation-backed bonds citing "one-time measures in the budget," structural budgetary problems, and slow economic growth. This is the third consecutive year Pennsylvania has been faced with a downgrade. This cannot be good news for a Corbett campaign already under fire for not operating a tight financial ship that lifts all boats with the rising economic tide.
Tom Wolf released the following statement:
"Today, Moody's Investors Service downgraded Pennsylvania's credit rating citing Tom Corbett's gimmick-filled budget, weak economy, and failed leadership.
Under Tom Corbett, Pennsylvania's economy has struggled, falling to 49th in the nation in job growth.
Instead of showing leadership over the past three and a half years, Tom Corbett has passed budgets filled with gimmicks and misplaced priorities that have put Pennsylvania's future in an untenable position.
It's clear that we need a new approach to economic growth and responsible budgeting that will give Pennsylvania a fresh start."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Yesterday former Nobel Peace Prize winners condemned Israel for, get this, committing crimes against humanity in the Gaza. What an upside world we live in when a terrorist organization, Hamas can take the high ground.
Israel has agreed to every cease fire..broken every time by Hamas.
Israel has given up land in wars where they were attacked to create the settlements in the Gaza.
Without its defense system, thousands of residents of Israel would have been killed. Are they the aggressor because they have defended themselves against constant rocket attacks and terrorists digging tunnels into Israel to kill their citizens?
Here’s a lesson in War 101. When a nation is attacked relentlessly and then fights back…there will be causalities of innocent people. When we fought Germany and Japan in WWII there were many German and Japanese people killed. Back then we called the dead war causalities, not victims of a war crime. When a nation is attacked and their safety and very lives are threatened..you fight back. When civilians who are warned to get out and don’t, and some continue to support Hamas with impunity, they will die. How to stop it? Don’t attack Israel. But if you do…..you’ll pay. That’s not a war crime..that’s war. I’m sure the 7 Nobel Peace Prize winners might have wanted to give Osama Bin Laden an hour head start! Remember that guy? He launched a couple of planes and when we were attacked we fought back. Israel has been attacked again and again. Hamas will not be satisfied until Israel is destroyed. That's a fact they prove every time they attack and then refuse to hold a cease fire. They are the ones committing the war crimes. Against their own people.
