Real World - Pennsylvania



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Today's Boston Globe has a great piece on the economic challenges facing real people in Pennsylvania.

Real numbers, real stories. It's not simply job loss -- it's the skyrocketing health insurance premiums, tuition costs, record highs in personal bankruptcies, and everything else. People in PA are working more and making less. Fewer have health insurance. Fewer can afford college. People who lose work go "between jobs" longer, and the job they do find often has a lower salary, and no benefits.

No wonder Bush has visited the state 37 times in the campaign to tell them how great things are.
