And it’s not the poor looking for jobs leaving, but college educated folks that are simply tired of being taxed to death and supporting the US leader in Liberal Social Programs. BTW, under John Engler a REPUBLICAN Michigan was adding jobs…That BlTCH Jennifer Granholm is an unmitigated Liberal Disaster!!

“Michigan’s exodus is one of the state’s best known but least understood problems. Long ignored or downplayed, outmigration has been shrugged off partly because it was assumed that those who were leaving were unemployed blue-collar workers and retirees, groups that, in economic terms, don’t cripple the state with their departure.
But a Detroit News analysis of U.S. Census Bureau and Internal Revenue Service data reveals that every day, Michigan gets less populated, less educated, and poorer because of outmigration.”
…..
“Those leaving Michigan are the people the state most needs to keep — young and college-educated. The state suffered a net loss to migration of 18,000 adults with a bachelor’s degree or higher in 2007 alone — the equivalent of half the staff of the University of Michigan crossing the state line.”
MAKE NO MISTAKE….OBAMA WANTS TO TURN THE REST OF THE COUNTRY INTO MICHIGAN THROUGH HIGHER TAXATION, MORE SOCIAL SPENDING AND BY GIVING MORE POWER TO THE UNIONS!!!!! THE END RESULT OF OBAMA’S POLICIES ARE MICHIGAN AND CALIFORNIA….MASSIVE DEBT…LOW PRODUCTIVITY AND A GROWING POOR POPULATION!!!!
Socialism doesn’t “Spread the Wealth”….it SPREADS THE MISERY!!!
I don’t care what kind of Liberal created studies you come up with…Liberalism KILLS ECONOMIES AND LIBERALISM KILLED OUR ECONOMY!!!! BUSH AND OBAMA…AND MCRINO…ARE ALL LIBERALS AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED!!!
Our spending is out of control and Obama attacked Bush on it to win election and now he is making Bush blush because he never knew we could spend so much! But Obama is going to jack up taxes, which causes REVENUE TO DECREASE…but some of you folks will never understand how this works and will not accept it.

michigan and california are the poster children for a democratic run government.
You have to be pretty powerful to kill an entire industry, which they have done. Not that management has helped any, but unins add at least $2,000 to the cost of every car.
Classical Liberalism good. Unions bad.
Because there are no jobs. That where the auto plants are.
This is a very long not-question, you lose.
It’s too dark up there.
Michigan is #1:
No 1 in Food Stamp Fraud
No1 in Medicare/Medicaid fraud
No 1 in Unemployment Fraud (Owes $2 Billion to the Fed).
No 1 in driver license/CDL fraud
No 1 in WIA training fraud, etc
In almost every category Michigan is #1!
The State Government is Top Heavy in Managers.
Michigan just kind of sucks, as places go. I’d say it has more to do with the people there and the oppressive government there, than it does with unions and liberals and all that.
Unions can be good or bad. I happen to be a member of a good one, but I’ve seen plenty that do nothing but collect dues and negotiate contracts while their executives rake in the big bucks.
