The American Spectator : Michigan a Right to Work State?
"Oakland County Sherriff Mike Bouchard, who is running for the Republican nomination for governor, called for making Michigan a right to work State in a press release and commercial Wednesday.
He pointed out that average right to work states have an 8 percent unemployment rate, compared with Michigan's rate of 13.8 percent."
This could be a game changer in the Michigan gov. race.
I'm hearing from many GOPer primary voters about this "bold" move.
That is would be tagged as bold says much about the republican party today.
I must say that Michigan as a RTW state sounds real good to me!

Dodd-Frank: What you always wanted
Dodd-Frank: What you always wanted NMPolitics.net – Get the real story
"Now, get this. The Dodd-Frank Act demands a measly: 533 required regulatory rulemakings, 93 special reports, and 60 studies.
By contrast, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 only had 16 rulemakings, no special reports and six studies.
My how the world has changed.
Get ready for regulation, regulation, and then a little more little regulation.
I can tell you one thing – Wall Street is definitely getting ready.
What does this mean?
More lobbyists, of course! (Exactly what the president campaigned against in 2008.)
From The Hill:
Consumer advocates and financial lobbyists are already preparing for years of debate before federal regulatory agencies are required to issue new rules.
“Game one over,” said Richard Hunt, president of the Consumer Bankers Association.
“Game two, regulators, beginning.”
It may be true that on the campaign trail, Obama promised that lobbyists “won’t find a job in my White House.”
Two things.
1) There are at least a dozen former lobbyists in the current White House, but that’s a moot point compared to the
2) onslaught of lobby jobs that are about to open up on account of this White House and their financial ‘reform’ bill.
Nice work!"

The Threat Posed by the Dodd Bill to the Private Sector

“Down a Rabbit Hole”
The Threat Posed by the Dodd Bill to the Private Sector
Summary
Americans for Limited Government has undertaken an analysis of provisions in the Dodd-Frank financial
sector takeover bill, HR 4173.
The analysis shows that the provisions creates a revolving “orderly liquidation fund,” with unlimited bailout-takeover authority rife for abuse.
This federal authority will endanger companies across the nation with unlimited government takeovers of their assets, operations, and ownership.
Read it all and fear for our country!

Taxing Canoes and Kayaks
Taxing Canoes and Kayaks [Mackinac Center]
"People who hit Michigan's lakes and streams with their kayaks and canoes may have to pay a $5 fee to the state first as a host of bills looking to tax the state's summer activities are under consideration.
There is a bill that would require private canoes and kayaks to attach a registration decal on their crafts for an annual $5 fee.
'It's not the cost,' said Dwight Walker of Marshall who races kayaks.
'I want less government in my life, and this is just another government regulation to have control of my life.'"

"Marc Morano, a global-warming skeptic who edits the Climate Depot website, says the government 'is playing the climate fear card by hyping predictions and cherry-picking data.'
Joe D'Aleo, a meteorologist who co-founded The Weather Channel, disagrees, too.
He says oceans are entering a cooling cycle that will lower temperatures.
He says too many of the weather stations NOAA uses are in warmer urban areas.
'The only reliable data set right now is satellite,' D'Aleo says."

"In the latest stop on his “Recovery Summer” tour, rock star President Barack Obama landed in Holland, Michigan Thursday, insulted its congressman, handed American stimulus dollars to a Korean corporation, and proclaimed Obamanomics a success even as Michigan has lost 94,000 jobs since his Recovery Act was enacted.
All in all, another day in the life of an increasingly unpopular president who seems to be living in an alternative universe."
