They'll suck out more dollars and businesses from our community.

Man convicted in Muskegon County for embezzlement, receives $9.1 million state tax credit
"Among his parole conditions: He is barred from having a checking account, charge account or credit card. He is also barred from leaving Michigan.
“This case is alarming,” Tague said after learning of the multi-million-dollar tax credit.
“It shows the ineptness at the state level of our government.
Not only are we doing a wholesale release of prisoners from our prison system, but we’re granting major financial rewards to parolees."

"“If President Obama and the Democrats repeat the mistakes of the health insurance mandate on a national level, they will bankrupt this country within four years,”
Cahill said.
“It is time for the President and the Democratic leadership to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new plan that does not threaten to wipe out the American economy.”"

Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis: The $2 Trillion Public Pension Hole and What You Can Do About It: "Populist Rage
That was page one of a three page article. I encourage everyone to read it all.
I am very grateful to Barron's for the opening sentence 'LIKE A CALIFORNIA WILDFIRE, populist rage burns over bloated executive compensation and unrepentant avarice on Wall Street.'
I get a lot mail suggesting I have been giving too much attention to unions and pensions. In reality, I have not been giving enough attention to the issue, or at least bloggers in general haven't.
There are a dozen blogs covering every aspect of the housing bubble, bailouts, and wall street salaries. Yet I am aware of no other major blogs covering the enormous pension problem in depth. Moreover, I have hardly shied away from bailout fraud, calling for the indictment of Geithner, Lewis, Bernanke and others on numerous occasions. Here is a list."

Obama's illusions of cost-control
Obama's illusions of cost-control - washingtonpost.com
"How often, for example, have you heard the emergency-room argument?
The uninsured, it's said, use emergency rooms for primary care.
That's expensive and ineffective.
Once they're insured, they'll have regular doctors.
Care will improve; costs will decline.
Everyone wins.
Great argument.
Unfortunately, it's untrue.
A study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that the insured accounted for 83 percent of emergency-room visits, reflecting their share of the population."
The main reason is the liberal MSM "reports" EVERYTHING the lying liberals tell them.

Joint Strike Fighter Massively Behind Schedule, Over budget - HUMAN EVENTS
"If the F-35 Lightning falls further behind, it will not only be bad news for the Air Force and it's fighter gap.
The Navy estimates it could be short 250 fighters in five years.
Levin called it 'a shortfall that's large enough that if it were realized could cause us to tie up aircraft carriers at the pier for lack of aircraft to send with them."
YIKES!
This is a big deal!

Obama Aides See ‘Extended Period’ of Unemployment
Obama Aides See ‘Extended Period’ of Unemployment
"U.S. employers won’t hire enough workers this year to lower the jobless rate much below the level of 9.7 percent reached in February, three Obama administration economic officials said today.
The proportion of Americans who can’t find work is likely to “remain elevated for an extended period,” .....
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, White House budget director Peter Orszag and Christina Romer, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, said in a joint statement.
The officials said unemployment may even rise “slightly” over the next few months as discouraged workers start job-hunting again."

GRASSroots group to hold second meeting
GRASSroots group to hold second meeting
"The group, also known as GRASS, plans to focus the meeting on three specific areas of interest: city employees' health insurance benefits package, city employee wages and wage increases, and the city's pension system, representatives told 24 Hour News 8.
The health insurance benefits package is too expensive, GRASS alleges, and wages for city employees have surpassed comparable jobs in the private sector.
Group representatives also claim the city's pension system is not sustainable."
85% of the disposable spending of most cities is on employee/retiree compensation.
It's about time some group investigated where our public dollars are going.
You go GRASS!
