Boy, it sure is a good thing that Bush passed the TARP and that President Obama carried on his 'failed policies' by passing the Economic Stimulus package, huh? /dripping with sarc

Good. I hope they are all former UAW folks.

>>Good. I hope they are all former UAW folks.<<

They aren’t.
And those of us who want to get out of here who are not UAW are looking to abandon our homes just to get out.

It’s bleak up here.

[DeadFurrow]

I don’t think it is as bad as the early 80’s but it’s bad here. Grandholm’s utopia and 0 is trying his best to copy. GM shuts for the summer it will be Kattie bar the door.

Time for MI to grow up and stop year after year of citizens ignorantly and arrogantly voting in Democrat politicians who slowly destroy business.

Feel bad for us, we did this to ourselves and will keep on doing it. No thanks.

[Frantzie]

Sad. This is all UAW, Granholm and liberalism. They bled the car companies to death. They killed the golden goose.

The Western part of MI should secede. Grand Rapids is a nice place.

Michigan continues to lead the United States with a statewide unemployment average of 13.4 percent. Unemployment rates increased in all of the state's 83 counties from February to March.

Liberal leadership...welcome to our world USA. This is what's in store for you.

Hey_ Simply raise taxes and spend more. That’s the answer. /s

[SeaHawkFan]

The Western part of MI should secede. Grand Rapids is a nice place.

Only if you handle a town full of dutchmen and no place to dance.

[KC_Conspirator]

Welcome to the Obama economy.

[EricT.]

Pretty soon, the only people working in MI will be hunting guides.

Man, that sounds like a good thing, too.

[Frantzie]

LOL! Actually I prefer Dutch women. ;-)

[Frantzie]

The Golf Channel runs ads to come to MI to play golf. My guess is no one has a job now so they can play lots of golf.

Beautiful courses but they will not get my money as long as Granholm turns the place into a mix of Zimbabwe and Eastern Germany.

not a bad idea, i could do that.

[No Truce With Kings]

I can just imagine Granholm's take: "I'd like to announce to my fellow citizens of Michigan that this state is now a national leader in one of the standard and most widely-cited measures of labor performance. I am sure that all of those who live in Michigan take great pride in leading the nation in this manner.”

[FatherofFive]

Hail to the Taxers!

Hail! to the Taxers valiant
Hail! to the Union heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan
The tax and spenders best!

Hail! to the Democrats valiant
Hail! to the Comunist heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
The cesspool of the world!

[ex-snook]

MAKE HERE + MAKE NOW = RECOVERY

[trisham]

It sounds dreadful.

[LeonardFMason]

CONGRATULATIONS Governor Granholm! The work your doing in Michigan is amazing. The momentum you have going in Michigan is breathtaking. Would the last productive person in Michigan please turn off the lights.

[netmilsmom]

I’m just putting trust in Our Lord.
He feeds the birds of the air and clothes the Lilies of the Field.

We’ll be okay.
