^ I know a guy who moved out of Detroit because of getting robbed in his own Neighborhood, Democrats have no idea what they are doing with their Stimulus bill, Lord have Mercy on us all!
Oh, I was watching COPS tonight, and just thought what was the unemployment rates doing to the crime rates, I now get the feeling we may never get to the bottom of it. Cops here are swamped with over 2000 arrest warrants alone, and that's before they get any 911 calls
The Jews are leaving MI?
Watch for emigrants to bring their high taxes and excessive regulations to a city near you. :D
And yet, Grosse Point. MI is completely uneffected by the FAILING Michigan economy.
How DO the rich do it? ;)
destroyed by the progressives.
if our enemies had done this,
the u.s. would rise up.
but relax folks, it’s the democrat-rino plantation.
This is our generation’s version of “The Grapes of Wrath.” But while Oklahoma eventually recovered, Michigan’s cities are headed to permanent 3rd world status. The productive people are leaving the parasites behind.
Just go out and shake your mail boxes. Gov. Granholm thinks it’s important.
Smart comments aside, Michigan is a beautiful state with great people. Politicians and unions can ruin anything.
A Dem state run by Dem thugs.
Hows that Hope & Change working out for you?
Wait I thought the recession was over.
Detroit population 1950 = 1,849,568

As Rush so often says who runs the state? Who runs the city of Detroit and probably many of the other cities that are bankrupt? Socialism/unionism “still” does not work.
In the 1950’s and 1960’s, Detroit was anything but what it is now. I used to take a bus to visit my aunts and uncles who lived there at the time. I took a bus with cousins into downtown Detroit to shop with them. We went to movies and had a blast in the clean and wholesome suburbs. Those were the days of Bob Segur, Mitch Ryder and Diana Ross and the Supremes. What a hellhole that place has turned into.
“...every 12 minutes Michigan loses a family seeking work.
The article noted that approximately 109,000 more
people left Michigan in 2008 than moved in...”

I wonder if the 2010 census will result
in Michigan losing some House seats...
Funny, this is almost the same article with the same statistics that DetNews.com posted back in April. Wonder how bad it REALLY is, now that HopeAndChange has set in?
Sad. “Made in America” still means something to me. I’m sorry that’s not the case for a lot of people.
Gosh, and Jeff Daniels almost had me convinced to move my business to Michigan.
And the Dems solution? Plow up the neighborhoods to shrink the cities, forcing people into more manageable areas while letting old neighborhoods go to greenspace.
Sure, why not? Put a fence around Detroit and don’t let that element out of there. Let them stew in their own mess.
