Michigan will be among the poorest states for years, study says

A study released Weds by whom? Crap reporting.

The truth isn't crap, we are in dire straights and we have Ms Grandholm and Mr Bishop and our legislators to thank.
Need to get a grip on reality and think those people in Lansing are really looking at the world they want to see. We have the highest unempolyment rate in the nation, also the most uneducated workforce in the nation. They want to work but they want 25 bucks and hours to sit on their butts. Unions have served their purpose it is time now for the workers to understand that things aren't just handed to you.
Just look t the statement we the state of Michigan gave 61 million dollars in tax credits to companies MORE MONEY THAN WE TOOK IN!!! What are those jerks in Lansing thinking???? We don't have the revenue of course not look at what your doing, Mr Bishop. These people in Lansing need to be held accountable for all of their actions, what they are doing is CRAP not the reporting. IMHO

Don't let the facts cloud your judgment there John.
The headline alone sums up where the state is and will be.
It took some time to lose a million jobs and stands to reason it will take time to regain them, if possible.
Having a few replacement jobs at Wixom making windmill and solar panel parts does little to rebuild. Instead of attracting business, the state is driving business out by over taxing them.
Young people with an education are leaving. Old people on fixed incomes who buy little are staying. The 2010 census will officially confirm the numbers.

The government is supposed to be there to help its citizens. NOT solely to help the government employees. Our elected officials don't care about us. They care about themselves and the government employees of MI.

Check out the article of the Detroit News about forfeitures. Google "Detroit forfeitures". This is some very scary stuff and this will be our future in MI.

Less government is what the PEOPLE of MI want. Less government=more freedom. Now let's put some people in office that will give us what we want!!!!

Government oppression in MI is just getting started. Go and google "forfeitures MI" and read the article from the Detroit News. This is our future. Time to get mad and fight back!

The dead auto industry, union presence, the crappy governor, Coleman Young, Kwammy Kilkpatrick, Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Muskegon, East Lansing, Jackson, Benton Harbor, many areas within Grand Rapids, Inkster, or any other place where groups of lazy ghetto thugs reside, all add to the death of this state.

Honestly who would want to bring new business to this state, with that kind of offering?
