The UP used to be one of the leading economic powerhouses in America.

Copper, Iron, Gold, Silver and Timber as well as some Oil. Its all here, all they need to do is allow us to go after it.

This is a prime example of what happens to an area when you let the socialist extremists rule.

UP Of Michigan suffered from Federal closure of FIA Sawyer AFB - jobs gone. State prison closures began in Michigan for example Newberry empty. - jobs gone. Mining Industry is slow, many mines closed 50s - 70s, very few open - jobs gone. Timber industry - several paper mills closed nearby - jobs gone.

Oddly enough the young people of the UP of Michigan leave for jobs elsewhere.

Elderly are the predominant population. Second homes are very popular.

medical providers are leaving because patient have the inability to pay.

Michigan needs jobs.

Hopefully the US Congress can get it together.

Voting for Benishek
