Now, to me they are BOTH worth the read..AND for QUICK REFERENCE, which will knock your socks off .. You can go to a map and click on your state . .and get the total amount of subsidies your state is giving and What/How these are being given AND for how long the arrangement has been going on ..... THEN it LISTS the Name of the Company - the amount of what the state has give them so far .. and for how long ... WOW! ...

Then in one of the articles it tells how one not governor but another top state legislator is suing one of these corporations as no one knows how many jobs are really produced or much of anything ... I'll tell YOU! ... WE ARE the BEST country in the WORLD to live in IF you are a corporation!!!!!!!!! .. and THEY want to cut down on your social security, medicare .. and whatever else it is .. .. god! the nerve of these people! all of them!!!!!

Here's the MAP:
