It is not the doom and gloom that you portray it to be. Granted, being in education isn't the best place right now thanks to the stupid Governor treating teachers like they are the anti-christ. Your son-in-law not being able to apply at any school district in that county isn't the fault of the economy, though. It's his for being dishonest.

I know that doesn't jive with the doom and gloom that some people like to complain about but that's their problem.

And, don't worry, I'm not going to pm you the company I work for since I know how much you HATE NJ from your posts regarding NJ. Besides, it would just be stupid to give out, even in a pm, any information that would be personally identifying.

i don't HATE new jersey......ok...maybe i do...LOL!! it's not new jersey itself, you know, most people have no idea just how beautiful the actual state is. it's called the "garden state" for a reason. it's beautiful, we lived in bergen county and it was lovely.

i just disliked the politics, rising costs of heating, and maintenance and on and on.... as i guess is the case of most places one lives or have lived.

we can live just from our ss and state pension here, we could never do that in new jersey.

and helpmeout, your are correct, it was because he lied on the application and he felt he was forced to do so, to get a job opportunity, now that's sad. but the bottom line, is, it was the lie and it's a real shame he had to go there.

The big companies/rich always use "We create more jobs" as their number one defense as to why they are entitled to all the big tax breaks. Of course, they don't have to be accountable to it. I am thinking of getting in the rubber boots business myself. We all could use a pair since we have to wade in this load of perpetual crap 24/7.

Right!!!! And here are two other things - w/out demand ("consumers" and gov't spending) there is no money for business, and there is also no wealth created without labor!!
