Actually....have you ever been to Newport News? I used to live there. Defense spending there seems to do just about nothing for them either. It is a Right to Work state after all..........so the poor stay poor. Employed, sure. But poor nonetheless.

You may find that out soon enough if Mr. Kasich has his way. I love the discussion on my Facebook page this morning. Apparently, the Governor of Ohio had his "State of the State Adress" yesterday and my Ohio friends and family are wondering WTF he was talking about. Oh, that's right, Republicans NEVER lie. So, if he says it, it must be so....................

The news folks at the papers here think the Statehouse Dems will end up being key to passing his new Budget...
