Just wait until the Big Three collapse. They’ll have to dust off that billboard from Seattle and take it to Michigan.

Wait just a minute you two-bit excuse for a Governor! Michigan is a UNION paradise, a LIBERAL paradise, owned and operated by Democrats for the last 45 years. Yet Detroit is a bombed out Dresden look-alike, the car manufacturers are out of business, the school drop out rate is beyond belief, taxes are absurdly high, and YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE you pathetic HAG!

Who says ‘slight’ tax increases do not affect behavior?
Still, I do not think the fools will get the message.

Wait until the Federal SCHIP taxes kick in on April 1st and the price for a pack of cigs goes up $.61. Smokers will cut back even more and all states will collect less in tobacco taxes.

It will force Gov. Jennifer Granholm and lawmakers to cut the budget more, agree on tax increases or use more of the federal economic stimulus money to balance the state's books. OMG!! REDUCE SPENDING!!! Not a chance that will be the first option. Raise taxes on the "wealthy" - that is always a good vote getter

Wait a second. I thought that stimulus money could not be used as an operating expense.

While the focus of the state's economic woe is the auto sector, sales tax receipts from car sales actually climbed 15 percent last month. Mostly Hondas and Toyotas.
