Double-dip recession increasingly unlikely, economists say

Double-dip recession increasingly unlikely, economists say

Over the past few days, economists have been saying that fears of a double-dip recession are starting to ease, thanks to positive economic news in the past week."
Odds are against a double-dip recession," economist Alan Greenspan told ABC's "This Week," and on NBC's "Meet the Press," the chair of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, Cristina Romer predicted economic growth for the year of 3 percent, which she said would be enough to keep creating jobs, according to a story from CNN Money.

BULLSHIT!
Let's see how these liars are covered by the lib MSM 12 months from now.
We will spend ourselves into bankruptcy by hiring government workers (fed, state and local) and hiding the econo-disaster only so long.
The USSR (and California) taught us nothing?

Nearly half of US households escape fed income tax
In recent years, credits for low- and middle-income families have grown so much that a family of four making as much as $50,000 will owe no federal income tax for 2009

OK but the democrats tell us we should still hate all those rich bastards...right?

Muskegon Heights' Mayor Darrell Paige rallying residents to fill out census

Muskegon Heights' Mayor Darrell Paige rallying residents to fill out census
"After Paige finished speaking at a census rally at the Hackley Community Care Center, 2700 Baker, census workers gave out T-shirts, hats and other items printed with 2010 census slogans.
Workers also gave out census forms, which are in multiple languages, to anyone who needed them.
Forms also are available at the Muskegon Heights Library, in addition to other locations.

Shortly after giving a T-shirt to a Hackley employee, Partnership Assistant Cozette Thomas said she felt the giveaways had a good impact.

“Last year we had an event at the Muskegon Heights Festival In the Park, and a lot of people we talked to didn’t even know what the census was,” she said. “If anything else, it’s getting them to know what it’s all about.”"

Nuff said about the Heights....and lot's of free "items" from Obama.....

DMC sale foes, Cox aides to meet

DMC sale foes, Cox aides to meet
"Three Metro Detroit nonprofit groups that have raised objections to the proposed sale of the Detroit Medical Center will meet today with representatives from Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox's office to outline their concerns.

The groups charge that selling the nonprofit DMC to Vanguard Health Systems Inc., a for-profit health care company based in Nashville, Tenn., violates state law."

Huh?
Non-profits sue cuz they they want profit making companies to be illegal in Michigan?
Is there ANY reason to question why we're the last state in our country in every economic category?

Three running for two Grand Haven school board seats

Three running for two Grand Haven school board seats
"To help voters make informed choices, The Chronicle sent questionnaires to registered candidates.
The questionnaires gave candidates the opportunity to provide personal information, list their top three priorities"

Not a single candidate even mentions the mastodon in the middle of the economic room, teacher pay, benefits and retirement.

And ya gotta love the "Save money by looking for additional energy efficiencies" goal.

"Class, we will now compare the total energy cost as a percentage of the total education cost vs the total compensation of teachers/aids expenditures as a percentage of the total education cost.......can't anyone do simple math anymore!!!"

Experts: Down economy makes Michigan open to 'try new things'

Experts: Down economy makes Michigan open to 'try new things'
"Michigan could bounce back if leaders take 'a bold stroke or two,' said Joseph Lehman, president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, a Midland-based free-market think tank.
One of those strokes is bringing state government employee benefits in line with the private sector, Lehman said.

'That would amount to $5.7 billion in annual savings,' Lehman said.
The reduction in turn would attract businesses and create jobs, he said.

Gov. Jennifer Granholm has proposed a plan that would encourage 7,000 state government workers and 39,000 public school employees into retirement to address a state budget crisis.
And House Speaker Andy Dillon, D-Redford Township, who is running for governor, has proposed that state and local workers as well as teachers be lumped into a statewide pool for health care benefits, a plan that would save up to an estimated $900 million a year.

Unions oppose both plans."

Michiganders!
Understand just who our economic enemy really is!

Economy blamed for expected drop in Muskegon County population

Economy blamed for expected drop in Muskegon County population
"For the first time in 26 years, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the population of Muskegon County dropped in 2009.

Muskegon County’s 2009 estimated population was 173,951 people, down 618 or 0.35 percent."

OK, I get it.
It's "the economy's" fault.
It has nothing to do with our elected leader's votes and decisions.
Just "the economy".
Isn't that code for "Bush's fault"?

Federal survey finds homelessness, shelters are more expensive than housing | - MLive.com

Federal survey finds homelessness, shelters are more expensive than housing
"A new federal survey finds that housing the homeless in emergency shelters can be more costly than the typical cost of rent or transitional housing.
For Grand Rapids, the average cost of a one-bedroom apartment is just under $600, compared to a cost of $744 a month at the Guiding Light Mission.

And while the mission also offers three meals a deal and day shelter for that cost, Executive Director Stuart Ray said the point is this: It costs more to house the homeless than prevent the loss of a home in the first place.

'My belief system says we ought to do everything we can to help people reach their full potential. This is the last place they want to be.'

The Department of Housing and Urban Development analyzed the cost of homeless programs in six places nationwide, including Kalamazoo.
It found that it costs $1,614 to house a family in an emergency shelter there per month, compared with $813 per month for transitional housing and $881 per month for permanent housing."

Grab your wallets, folks!
Here they come again!
The Obamaians want to go back to...you guessed it...Chicago style PUBLIC HOUSING!

The above article sorta ignores that "nationwide" isn't necessarily Muskegon or west Michigan.
And the Guiding Light offers more than food and lodging.
They've got to deal with those who need help.

But who cares?
Free "health care", free student "loans", free housing!
Sounds sorta soviet to me.
And Obama wants to bring it to your neighborhood soon!
