Gov. Granholm Offers Nation Advice on Job Creation
michigancapitolconfidential ^

Posted on 12/10/2010 9:15:22 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

More than 609,000 jobs disappeared during Gov. Granholm's eight years in office, and Michigan lead the country with the highest unemployment rate for 49 months. Now, she is giving advice to the country … about how to create jobs.

Granholm served as a guest op-ed writer for the national news site POLITICO. Saying the nation needs a "moon shot" jobs strategy to create 3 million new jobs, she used as an example Michigan government's recent bet that the lithium-ion battery industry should be cultivated with special treatment and favors from state government.

Granholm wrote: "If the states are the laboratories of democracy, Washington can take a lesson from what is happening in Michigan."

Jennifer Granholm offering advice on job creation is like Lindsey Lohan offering advice on sobriety.

It would seem Obama has already taken the advice on job creation from the Gov. of Michigan. Been doing it two years straight.

Jennie Granholm should be called the Job Creator Gal for the MIGOP. With Democrats like her, the party doesn’t need enemies.

Take shackles off of economies and they will do what they always have done from time immemorial. This isn’t rocket science.

Ms. GranolaBar is delusional. She screwed up Michigan for 8 years and still wants to do it for the next 8.

Somebody put this lady in a straightjacket before she destroys the earth!

She is pathetic! I can’t wait for the day she leaves the Governor’s mansion! Maybe Canada will take her back!

This country really needs to learn the lessons of Granholm, Arnold, and Obama! Vote for Americans! Sheesh!

Lithium must be the greatest element on Earth. It's "green" energy. It's recovery must be cost free. No vast quantities of potable water are diverted in recovery. No diesel is burned transporting the recovered element to the refinery. No energy is required in the refining process and no energy is used to transport the element around the world. And then, of course, no energy is used in manufacturing it into batteries.

Why is the 33rd most common element on Earth, that is cost free to obtain so blasted expensive to turn into batteries?

Speaking of rocket science, how ironic Granholm says we need a “moon shot” style effort on jobs while FL and other states will lose jobs thanks to 0bama canceling the program that was to follow the shuttle. He proposes a possible million to Mars within a few decades. Hardly a bold step there.

Just how these failed “leaders” get anyone to interview them (let alone listen to them) is beyond me. This anti-American witch needs to STFU, crawl under a rock and fade into oblivion. She is a totally incompetent boob. As to her human qualities...I bet her family is embarrassed to admit they are related to her. LOSER!
