Lord, you people don’t get it. NO ONE will buy our homes. I sold my birth home, my hubby’s first home and we bought this one. We lose two generations of homes.

Think it’s easy? Yeah, drop everything you’ve worked for and go, right? It isn’t so easy when it becomes reality. And I’m 48. This is a nightmare.

No, they don't get it.

Families, both of ours, are here. ALL of them--uncles, aunts, grandparents were here, and my family has been here 140+ years. Foreclosures all over the place and we just live in a small town, we can't move/sell if there is nothing to move to or with.

One cannot move to another state, far away with NOTHING, that's just insanity. Just how welcomed do you think a gaggle of northern refugees would be in Texas? The illegals would fare better.

I think we need some sort of Michigan support network, here in the state, without government-strings-attached-to-my-head back-up.

One would think that the democrats in this state would figure out that their own party has "sold them down the river" forever. Truth be told, IMO, Michigan is just a foreshadowing of what is in store for the rest of the country.

“Just how welcomed do you think a gaggle of northern refugees would be in Texas? The illegals would fare better.”

Ridiculous! Sorry excuse. What do you think they’ll do, behave like a bunch of midwestern union thugs?

I’ve actually been told by FReepers that TX doesn’t want us and they have shushed other FReepers to not invite us down, with a big LOL to soften it.

I can’t blame them, actually. They have it good and don’t want what they see as Michiganders. The Detroit Libs and lazy workers.

But it doesn’t make me feel any better.

As a Native Texan, I feel confident in saying that northern transplants to Texas would be more than welcomed so long as they are of the type that recognize the problems of their home states and don’t try to recreate them here. I am always bewildered to talk to northerners/ Californians that rave about our cost of living, wide open job markets and pro-business climate only to then advocate a vote for some leftist Dem like Obomber. sheesh.

You are absolutely correct. The ignorant and the lazy have sold us down the river.
