Unions, socialism, environmental regulations, Islam, ...
The future of the USA is Michigan!
Shall I be the first ...
BUSH’S FAULT!!!
I nominate Jenny Granholm for depression Czar of the Obamanation.
Her only claim to fame is sleeping with Bo from the Dukes of Hazzard.
How about looking for work in another state? Hm?

Michigan voters drank the liberals’kool-aid when they voted for them and are now paying the price for their irresponsible decisions. Payback is a b*tch ain’t it?
9.3% unemployment rate would skyrocket to 20% if GM, F or Chrysler goes under. Then it could be called a depression.
Then again, doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.

Elections have consequences.
Sam really got a lot of people thinking the obvious. RIP.
A damn shame, as the folks in the western part of the state are relatively sane. I was shocked by the margins by which Macomb and Oakland Counties went for Obama. You would think they would have enough of socialism.
...and what money, pray tell,will these unemployed persons use to move and work in another state? For the most part FR is full of heartless jerks these days.
I wouldn't wish a layoff, pulling of benefits, foreclosure, or bankruptcy on my worst enemy...yet people do it here on a minute-by-minute basis. Be careful what you wish for.
Cutting government spending? Cutting the gold plated salaries, benefits and pensions of government employees? Laying off government employees? Reducing regulations?
Take note that the states in the worst financial shape are dominated by democrats in their government and are represented by democrats in the US congress.
Why do they keep getting a vote of confidence when the hole keeps getting deeper?
....we’ve been living in the twilight of the great post World War Two industrial America...people can’t believe it’s ending....there’s a mass denial going on....this week at the cafe I was eating lunch with a buddy....I said “are you worried about your Mom’s pension from GM?”....he said “hell no, that pension check is guaranteed!”...I didn’t say anything back to him....but I know with GM trading around $3.00/share nothing of theirs is ‘guaranteed’
What a shame. She is not even cute. But I have a crush on Sarah Palin since August.

When I was a child my dad sold everything we had to get to a state where there were jobs. It worked!several times!
When I had a family I had to do the same thing, sell about everything I had to go to a state where jobs were plentiful.
