Quote from Scott Brown. "With all due respect, it's not the Kennedys' seat, and it's not the Democrats' seat, it's the people's seat." Time to hold ALL politicians to that phrase.

It needs to be towards high tech education and incentives to stay in Michigan instead of taking a good education and leaving for greener pastures. We need the businesses to want to come here and part of that is a skilled labor force for that business.

World is Flat = I deserve a cheap TV while other Americans lose their jobs?

It's not the 8.50 an hour jobs being exported. Auto Workers, Manufacturing, Steel workers, Computer Programmers, etc... All made more than 8.50 an hour. Sacrifice other peoples jobs so you can buy a cheap TV?

Agreed. Time to stop this non-sense and work to promote a reversal and bring jobs home.

WOODTV.com : Jobless rate tops 10 pct. for first time since 1983

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 15:49:19 +0000

A poll done in 2000, long before Obama, ranked all past presidents. The poll was a broad sampling of liberal and conservative historians who ranked each past president. The presidents given the best rankings had the LOWEST number of years of federal service. A 2008 review of this study can be found at this link. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/phil-vogels/a-criti... Also note the use of Federal service, meaning US Government, not local or state government roles. Let's just face it that you have an unrational dislike of Obama and you make up any kind of arugment to sustain that unrational dislike, even to go so far as to use reasons you would not apply to other past presidents.

All politicians make promises and very few ever deliver on any of them. Huge problem with American politics that no one is really ever held to the promises they make. Our fault as the voters to let them get away with it. The point is, the current economy crash has its roots set during Bill Clintons era and was feed by greedy Americans. Short sighted goals lead to our cycles of boom and bust.

It's probably much higher than that. The way unemployment percentages are calculated there is the possibility for large numbers of people to get unreported.

Like or Dislike Obama but this current mess has nothing to do with him. While I don't necessarily agree with his choices on how to best fix the economy, he didn't cause the problem.

Completely agree with you. It's time for a change in American culture. Our economy overall won't be any different until our culture behind the economy changes. More forward long term thinking is required, not the short term greed we seem to embrace.

WOODTV.com : Officials: Swine flu confirmed in Iowa cat

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 20:42:35 +0000

The statement means you do not get swine flu from eating or handling pork meat from a pig that has H1N1. You can however, get swine flu from handling live pigs that have H1N1, and apparently any other kind of animal that gets H1N1, like the cat from the story.

I am not sure of any jobs where you can be caught with alcohol and remain employed. Let alone get fired and negotiate your severance package.

It's an entirely short sighted budget. Cut college PROMISE funding. Cut school funding. Cut Department, Labor and Economic Growth ( job growth!, bring new jobs to michigan! ) DO NOT CUT welfare. Cut three things Michigan needs for its future.
