#73 Michigan's Death Rattle

Phantom Penguin

on July 5, 2007

The reason I single out Michigan is because these reasons:
Since Governor Jennifer Granholm was elected unemployment has risen from 4.3% to 6.7% (the forth highest in the US) and out of the top 20 US cities with the highest unemployment rate 8 of them are in Michigan.

It sounds like it couldn't get worse right? Well if things go on their merry way like they have been Michigan will pass Mississippi's 8.4% unemployment rate with ease at the end of this year, estimates are as high as 10%, if this happens it will have broken a DEPRESSION-ERA RECORD.

Gov. Granholm insists things are getting better while all the jobs in the state flee like rats off a sinking ship, hell even illegal immigrants won't work in her state. There must be a voice of reason in the state political system right? Not in sight anyway. the mayor of Detriot said 'what this state needs is more Jennifer Granholm's' (this coming from a man who took 200,000+ dollars from a public works fund to go on a vacation to California with his family).
So sadly things have nowhere to go but down.
