“bring thousands of jobs to Michigan”
Until the federal gravy train FINALLY stops on the tracks. These types of people know NOTHING about job creation. They think spending our tax money on make-work jobs is “job creation.” It’s nothing but a path to a failed nation.
The government is always yammering about “creating a market” or “building infrastructure to create a market,” yet NOT ONE of their ridiculous pipe dreams EVER comes true.
Three quarters of the money will find it way to the pockets of corrupt politicians, union bosses, and the exec staff of startup company who vote “D” and make big “contributions” of the money to the Dem pols. (see “Solyndra”)
One quarter of the money will build something that doesn’t work, will be shut down, will be abandoned, and will be a rusting hulk wasteland within five years. (see “Solyndra” again)
Then the government will say “We just need to try harder and better” and fund the next one with the second billion dollars. (see “Solyndra” yet again)
We’ve all seen this movie so many times.
You left out “Shovel Ready” aka More fed BULL$}{!T to shovel.
