despite?

lol

[gr8eman]

just yankees being yankees!

[exnavy]

Yes, because of. It’s more accurate.

“This shows that Lansing has more money to spend than ever before,” Hohman said.”

I think I see the problem.

[shove_it]

Is it possible that tax revenue has increased due to job growth and tax spending up due to 0bamacare?

[GeronL]

bump

[dfwgator]

Not a dime’s worth of difference.

[jpl]

This sure sounds familiar, what does it remind me of?

Oh right, the Bush years!

[cripplecreek]

There is actually some good news in that.

Its good that there is more money but bad that they think it must be spent. Pretty much standard for government anywhere.

Looks like another uniparty success story to me. Two factions, one uniparty, same script.

I used to be in favor of every tax cut(for us middle class people I still am). But I thought socialism would prevail if we taxed the rich so hard and then we would all fail. Now, I am looking at myself and thinking how stupid could I have been. The more we cut heir taxes the less they cared about over government. They continue to conspire with the Dem's to bring in illegals and make voting demos out of them so I say let them pay their taxes. If the boys from the Chamber of Commerce are going to be a part of the problem then let them be apart of the solution by making them pay for it.

Hmmm... maybe Michigan has too many Republicans and not enough Conservatives.

[cripplecreek]

Actually what we have is Michigan Capitol Confidential. I don’t see any other similar publications from other states being posted at FR every day.

[Da Coyote]

Which is why the GOP is dead.

Why have almost total slime when one can go for the complete slime package effortlessly provided by dim-bulb-crats?

[VanDeKoik]

“Not a dime’s worth of difference.”

That is completely false!!!

There is about a billion dollars in this case.

The problem is not tax cuts. The problem is crony capitalism. If the government did not spend the money to help a business succeed we would not have government run by special interests. Cut the money to special interest from the government and you cut the money to the politicians from the special interests. Then the politicians would have to rely on the people to fund their elections.

We need to flush the parasites that rely on government to succeed and give the tax money back to the rightful earners. Be they rich middle income or poor.

The state senator in my district ran a dirty campaign were he criticized his opponent for doing exactly what he was doing. Than god we have tern limits in Michigan is all I have to say about this crap.

[amnestynone]

where does crony capitalism come from? It comes from Democrats buying business off just like it buys public employees and minorities and everyone else they can. That puts the GOP in the position of losing its biggest block or trying to one up the bloodsuckers.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Actually the problem is America has sent far, far too many jobs to China and other countries.

What we need, is to stop buying stuff imported.

Bring back American manufacturing. Big time.

[jimpick]

No the problem is republicans are acting like dems. Practicing crony capitalism. They need to be fired and replaced in Michigan just like at the federal level.
