Rendell not to blame for sagging PA economy

The lastest state job numbers indicate that Pennsylvania has 100,000 more unemployed persons that one year ago. Yet, Governor Rendell announces that this is due to national trends -his policies of borrow, tax, and spend for "economic development" prevented the economy from being worse.

You will also note that he takes credit for any state growth, even when the rest of the country is growing at a faster rate.
