of course my state is the same....our lame gov has a 5 billion dollar deficit and a rising unemployment rate......what do the voters do?....vote her in again....
At the beginning of the 20th century, a common expression in Paris was “as rich as an Argentinian.” Argentine was one of the most prosperous countries in the world. Today after a century of largely left-wing government, it is literally on the verge of bankruptcy.
The same is true of Michigan, once prosperous, now hanging by a thread - and sadly, hanging on to Granholm and voting for Levin and Stabenow and BO. The disease is spreading to our whole country, and what happened to Argentina can happen to us.
Re-elect Governor Granholm!

At the same time, they keep electing more and more RATS.
I wonder when they'll connect the dots?

“Send more people! We need the Taxes!”
New data show the state's unemployment rate crept up to 9.3 percent, almost three times what it was in 2000, and, along with Rhode Island, the highest in the country. Just last week, Herman Miller Inc., an office furniture company based in Zeeland, Mich., announced that it would eliminate or lay off 400 to 650 workers, many of them in western Michigan. SKD Automotive, an auto parts manufacturer in Jonesville, Mich., where it is the largest employer, indicated it would eliminate 300 jobs. As a result of the steady job losses that began in the summer of 2000, 1.82 million Michigan residents, or close to 20 percent of the population, are now on some form of public assistance, including food stamps and home heating credits, a record for the state.thanks neverdem.
thanks grellis.

I will likely be among the unemployed before Christmas.
Last year Jennie's answer to a huge budget deficit was to raise everyone's taxes and fees. She just could not find anywhere in the state budget to reduce spending. This plan was supposed to fix the states budget crisis.
Of course, the state took in less money and the state has another budget crisis looming. I guess its time to raise taxes once again.
You mean the fear that the Wolverines may never again beat Ohio State?

Ah - Michigan - home of Granholm - because she has screwed up Michigan so bad - she gets to help Hussein Obama screw up the country.

Michigan should just raise corporate tax rates again.
That should fix their problems. /sarcasm
