President Barack Granholm |
President Barack Granholm themichiganview.com The Michigan View
"Granholm envisioned a transformation of Michigan from Rust Belt to 'Green Belt' with massive, European-like, public investments in infrastructure and alternative energy.
'In five years, you'll be blown away,' she predicted in what would become her signature line.
Ironically, thousands of state jobs were blown away as Granholm's vision diverted pols' attention from much-needed reforms to the state's budget and business climate.
Since her speech in 2006, the state's unemployment rate has exploded from 7.4 percent to 11.4."

Selective Thoughts - Bruce Bialosky - Townhall Conservative
"Of the wealthiest zip codes in the U.S., 19 out of 20 vote Democratic.
How much longer can the Dems continue the lie of representing the interests of the common man?
What they represent is the interest of those who can take advantage of government in the most selfish manner."

Report Says Rate of Illegal Immigration into US at Lowest Level in Two Decades
Report Says Rate of Illegal Immigration into US at Lowest Level in Two Decades
"The Pew report is based mostly on census data.
The center estimated the number of illegal immigrants by subtracting the number of legal, documented immigrants from the total number of foreign-born people living in the country, it said."
Gotta love "reports" by groups that use census data that specifically precludes asking about an individuals immigration status.
Ain't studies great?

City officials float the idea of regional taxation in Michigan
City officials float the idea of regional taxation in Michigan MLive.com
"League officials said Wednesday said cities can’t join together to provide shared services without changes in state law that currently require employees to be paid at the highest rate provided by a unit of government participating in the merger.
Cities also want the authority to eliminate the December billing and consolidate all property tax collections in the summer.
Another measure would amend state binding arbitration law so that in resolving impasses with police and fire unions, an arbitrator would have to consider a city’s ability to pay."

Obama’s Spending “Freeze”
Obama’s Spending “Freeze” NetRight Daily
"But alas, Obama did not propose reining in the nation’s unsustainable entitlement obligations.
Net spending will increase every year on end under his proposals, until one day the public treasury will no longer be able to sustain it."

YOU WANT A “SPUTNIK MOMENT?” HERE’S YOUR FREAKIN’ SPUTNIK MOMENT: US Budget Deficit to Pass $1.5 Trillion!

This is really scary too.
Where’s the serious response?
And no, more of the same doesn’t count.
A 5% across the board spending cut — real year-over-year cutting, not a cut against projected growth — would only barely begin to count as serious.
Freezes and other flimflams don’t count at all.

U.S. Manufacturing: Output vs. Jobs Since 1975
U.S. Manufacturing: Output vs. Jobs Since 1975 Mercatus
"This week, Veronique de Rugy examines changes in employment and productivity in the American manufacturing sector.
Since 1975, manufacturing output has more than doubled, while employment in the sector has decreased by 31%.
While these American job losses are indeed sobering, they are not an indication of declining U.S. competitiveness.
In fact, these statistics reveal that the average American manufacturer is over three times more productive today than they were in 1975 – a sure sign of economic progress."

How NAACP concealed George Washington
How NAACP concealed George Washington
"'The NAACP's hypocrisy, and the double standard of the media, reared their ugly heads yet again.
This time, it's South Carolina.
The event is the MLK 'King Day at the Dome' hosted by the South Carolina NAACP.'
'They literally built a (15-foot wooden) box and covered (all but the backside of) the statue of President George Washington for the duration of their event. … Naturally, the media are absolutely silent on this matter' (italics added)."
