job creation continue to slow, as they surely will, and the unemployment rate remains stubbornly high, as it surely will, we have
only the
private sector to blame.

only the way Albany does business, but also to change what Albany has been doing for far too long to business by undermining
job creation and decimating our
private sector economy.»
