Q: Tom from Livonia, MI:

We are a small manufacturing firm in Livonia, MI. Been in business since 1969. We saw the economic slowdown occurring in August 2000. By August 2002, we ran out of work and layed off 10 of our work force. By May 2003, we re-hired all furloughed. This year we have added 30 to our payroll with need for 10 more capacity. Our back log is the largest since 1997 and quote levels are up a minimum of 20 from previous year. Business levels are busy and trending upward. We feel you and your team have provided excellent leadership in very adverse times. If I had one wish, it would be for your continued leadership.

John Snow A: John Snow, Secretary of Treasury:

Thanks for writing in, Tom. I'm delighted to hear that your business has come back so strong - that's exactly the kind of turnaround that the President had in mind when he designed tax relief to stimulate our economy. I'm especially glad to hear that you've been able to add to your payroll. Thanks to employers like you, 1.9 million jobs have been added to America's payrolls over the past 13 months. We have the strongest, most resilient and flexible economy in the world thanks to our small-business owners and entrepreneurs, our outstanding workforce and the simple fact that we operate as a free market. The President's economic policies stimulated growth by tapping into those elements, and your story is a terrific example of the success of that policy.

3. Hopefully this will have worn off by dinner.

It's amazing 30 new jobs created by one company is an economic turnaround for the whole country. Maybe I'll hit the lottery tonight.

4. Too bad Tom from Livonia didn't post his

firm's NAME.

:evilgrin:

For anyone paying attention to boycotts and wanting to know what they can do, check your individual state threads entitled "Progressive Pages- Need Your Input." (Texas folks look for "A favor, my wonderful Texas friends...")

Post the firms you know about that supported the dipshit. We're circling the wagons and buying progressive now.
