Re: WWGD - What will Granholm Do?
The cap is on the wholesale price, but not the retail price?

I hear you Rocky. On another note: Don't you just love how she pushed up the due date for our taxes over the next three years? Isnt that kind of like you and me going to those "check in advance" or "pay in advance" stores, where you go to get money borrowed on next weeks paycheck? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. |

Re: WWGD - What will Granholm Do?
I think she would be too busy adjusting her makeup to make a real difference. She keeps raising taxes on cigarettes, not to encourage people to quit, but to raise revenues. She is a non-thinker who does not know the meaning of ingenuity.

Re: WWGD - What will Granholm Do?
What new items has she brought to the table to help the taxpayer, notta! All she has done is take current programs and adjust them to try and make her look better, well, it isn't working, she looks like a clown.

Re: WWGD - What will Granholm Do?
Love him or hate him, you have to admit this state was in far better shape when Engler left. My out of state friends and family all say the same thing: the economy/unemployment rate is much worse in Detroit/Michigan than where they live (ARZ, FLA, CA, TN) Additionally to high unemployement, you now only get 6 months unemployement benifts instead of 1 year plus extensions. Talk about getting slapped on both sides of the face, eh? |

Could the economy/unemployment thing be due to better weather conditions in the southern states, such that people want to live there, and lower rates of union membership, with corresponding lower rates of wages. With lower wages come more manufacturing type of work. With more manufacturing work comes a better economy and increased employment. |

Not being unemployed, I'm not familiar with the benefits, but I should point out that one reason that I'm here is that my parents moved from Arkansas back in the early '50s to find work. Why is it that people expect to be paid for not working? Why do the chronically unemployed not move to where the work is? |

So the weather was poor in the South during the same time Engler was in office, then drastically improved when Granholm won the election? Low wages and low union enrollment in the south is a new phenomenon? |

Sometimes its not that simple, when you have family and roots. I know a couple of people that had to find new jobs and gladly took a pay cut to stay in a certain neighborhood, close to family and friends, and churches and schools. Somethings are more important than money (to some people). |

Good for them. I have too many friends who talk about their son being in this state and their daughter in that state and their grandkids in another state........ I'm glad we were always able to stay geographically close to one another. We were lucky. |

Re: WWGD - What will Granholm Do?
Your right Magoo, gladly was a poor choice of words. My point was a cut in pay was worth not leaving your home, family, and community. |
