Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm of Michigan, a Democrat, says that her administration has made efforts to remake basic elements of state policy — tax structure, statewide school requirements, the economy itself — anything to turn things around. But she acknowledges the progress has been slow.

Cutting government spending? Cutting the gold plated salaries, benefits and pensions of government employees? Laying off government employees? Reducing regulations?

How about the office staff for the first Gentleman? Waht a joke. The size of State Government has grown under ol’ Wart face.

Yeah, you said it. She’s going all over the flippin’ world trying to “bring business to Michigan” but she’s not doing anything here to promote small businesses, like, oh, cutting taxes, maybe?

It’s her fabulous regulations that drove me out of the job I had done for 14 years. There was no grandfather clause for those who had already been doing that job, so I was left with nothing to do but go back to school.

And there’s no way to sell our house because it’s lost value and no one is buying houses here so looking in another state for work has not been an option.

I don’t live on the east side and I really hate the fact that they carry elections every time. I really feel like I have no voice at all.

Only a liberal would refer to this as 'progress'.
