Grew by 4% in the ninety's. And by 21 T percent in the eighties so they just picked up two previous tickets and show.

" I know I agree with -- that last point today get anybody who wants to build a plant to some type of some type of addition our expansion should not be put through the multimedia. Torture. Court show that determining. Has been. In Massachusetts I know each administration and I wanna give credit to both. The Romney administration under rich Campbell. I think the Patrick administration -- Greg collecting and others have done to have taken some steps to accelerate that but for years it was a note one of the most notorious. Undertakings in Massachusetts. In almost became and I hesitate to use this word because of the implication of it it almost became like a -- out of sorts. You know all you have to have 48 community hearings you have to have 92 community meetings we have to do -- have to do that.

" Army to be unrealistic and say oh everything can and should be reviewed in 380 days -- around issue the premise that type of stuff. But I mean we go through a process of which we congratulate ourselves are we pat ourselves on the back all the while while we're losing jobs would go through a process. Is if we're talking about the construction of the pyramids. In by the way I would do of the pyramids made out of nuclear material -- come why are we talking about bricks and mortar -- Water runoff and a whole host of other things. Rational people configure these things out very DM quickly without being held up."

" And Laura you know what what you just described every once the -- little we'll just diversified and broadened its tax base during any number of dozens hundreds maybe thousands more people with jobs and job opportunities. The company itself has made a multi million dollar investment they don't turn their back on that tomorrow the next day. That's sinking a very deep tap -- This is what every governor and every gubernatorial candidate should be talking about this is what they should focus on. And they should focus on it like a laser I happen to think who it is. Really -- vote the great regrets. That at least I associate mentally with the Romney administration I grew rich Campbell I think. Was a fabulous secretary of economic development but let's be honest the governor himself was distracted. And the governor himself could talk the language of business and finance and investment and expansion. Better then certainly better than me and -- unfulfilled he was he was run around the country and could come we elected governor. Do you deliver. Still live -- the governor and then you can become the president and it I don't mean to turn this -- anti Romney diatribe is about jobs is about your kids warrant. My kids. I'm at the point now we have my kids having kids so my grandchildren as well this is at stake for."

" Those -- Syria which dropped Brown's campaign as someone alluded to learn more of the papers recently to sit here we campaign with Wheldon Giuliano and all these other people.

" Yeah he's 6172666868. It's a big challenge we know you face it. We're just I would just -- well we just wanna kick this one right by the way. We're not the only state have gone through this no no another twelve or fifteen states Michigan probably be the most obvious in the most. The most challenged but another twelve or fifteen states have gone through this a lot of this is global is -- national radar treaties. And and actually job growth was essentially zero flat end of -- for the -- yeah yeah yeah 6172666868. Let's go right to talk. Hey Tom welcome your idea with warrant a top. -- 01 armed. We're gonna be is allowed block -- 11 -- let's."

" Ray hey ray good morning your idea we'll Marlins on the trigger they walk hey ray how are you not to be an idiot Torre tried. Irate you call the warrant also saw you last right -- I was used to call him nobody's arguing here --"

" And as far as good job as a concern. Didn't you know you can talk about all the bill -- wanna put up in terms of thought this building. If erratic that it -- support him in there are threats spaces. Where it's it's it doesn't make sense. Too many years have gone by -- we've allowed the it industry to leave and go to China -- India where it too many. Jobs have been lost we don't produce anything anymore. Because the whole problem I believe -- I I still believe this is that if you take the middle class -- of the equation. If they're not going to restore it if they're not buying. Products if they're not taken advantage of services because there have the money. You can develop all the job she want I mean there's always somebody highway you can you can repay. I think that this is a problem that's been developing sold severely. Is so badly and in the ball has been dropped by both politics. That this -- this as a prop problems that I think that they've really got to take a good follow look at. And not just think in terms of green jobs with -- French other ridiculous. SI can happen for decades we can't get off fossil fuel right alike. So well what a dissolution I think he'd be immediate solution right now wish you gotta get the middle class. Back into purchasing intent of being able to replace the thing really need to replay."

" Gonna say it any better myself -- it's that middle class that is either as either lost a job -- is very anxious very very anxious. About whether they'll be holding the job and what they do inevitably they cut back they don't go out to dinner is actually not gonna go to the movies the play right not gonna buy a bike for live read this some blood dot off."

" OT he's going for you they're not gonna buy any."

" All that stuff gets cut back on and this thing this this stuff then tends to feed upon itself. I'm actually a big believer in free trade Napster and all the rest of those things."

" They had it but it hasn't worked as far as I'm concerned because. Supposedly with China we were gonna help to develop their middle class that we inevitably we will bring this into the living up that they would turn around them by."

" Yet felt there was going to be the market for our all right yeah I don't. -- this this stuff is not easy nice oppose a bill was would have you know. Never rending stories of increased employment and everybody's standard of living going up this is tough tough stuff particularly is the rest of the world stats to figure out what has been special about the United States of America and education and an entrepreneurial capitalist system I don't anything else I think."

" What we need to do more honestly and and I know I've got a lot of criticism for this. Well why not why not just stimulus program that are working from the pop pop -- trying to from the bottom. In other words every taxpaying household in this country. -- you give them a certain amount of money with stipulation that they have to use it to to knock down debt. To use it to. Stabilizer mortgages that they need to be stabilized. They can't just water just all the money. But but you'll like it that way with the understanding that whatever is left over than they can they can use that to replace the refrigerator. Or achieve eight. Really that's not gonna create jobs in the community that it will -- that the reason why I think that it well is because if they going to test firing of these stores. If I stop buying these these -- right it's where they're glad that someone is gonna have to go back into the factory -- Right."

" Right but that's the third thing after they've knocked down -- you -- in the paid off their mortgage -- they go if they're earning money left over -- by the way I read your original point that -- that factory that he has to replace you know throughout replace the inventory write as you pointed out most of those are now in India or China. Right. Hot hot hot this becomes very circular include matter deficit hit it ain't easy if I don't it's very frustrating when you read something like this and I realized where we're measuring from. Off peak a very high peak it was did you just before the dot com -- bubble burst. And now we have to measuring to a low so it's probably a little distorted but nonetheless. Then nation essentially flat twelve to fifteen states -- trap as well negative. In and and you know -- from your work and Holland and Knight I know from my work out the doing a variety different things with the forum with clients. That this economic situation. President as well as future. Looks pretty DM -- to an awful lot of people actually and anyone who looks at this realistically and sees manufacturing. Down 32 point 3% in a decade. That's not a blip. That's not a win did you take disarray that's a real problem -- and and those are good -- ups that we wanna keep pierce I was really then we can manufacture was always the backbone. How the American middle class and it was the American middle class. That was the envy of the world and really which drove our economy which was also the envy of the world that middle class standing in the midwest in the Rust Belt and and it spread and it's spread -- used to make automobiles in Framingham -- imagine action but would that be nice to -- plant in Pittsfield -- digital around the clock go round the clock to a fabulous stuff six point 72666868.

" Now you make a widget the United States. 30% of that is it's just it's."

" I I like the idea of a consumption task -- I always have it seems to be an income taxes attacks on something you wanna encourage. Work ethic. Entrepreneurial instinct."

" Success. I love the yeah they have something to. Horrible we come back again ask you did some things in medicine for. It's on tax policy. Those -- designed to address some distant head -- good effect.
