Interesting how the spin doctor extraordinaire spun 2011. Increase in jobs-duhh the auto industry picked up (partly based on bailouts)opposed by most "r"'s. Paid down some of the unfunded liability-- ahh on the backs of public workers. Apparently promises, contracts mean nothing. Goal posts can be changed at will. Tax surplus gained upon the backs of seniors, the poor and public workers again, including public safety.
Support for an educated workforce being the answer for Michigan while taking away funding from both K-12 and Universities. But that's ok the formula is, if you take away money and incentives for good teachers and public workers to take jobs in the public sector, you will get a good system and the tax payer will receive better service from those who just "called it in" or flunked or cheated their way to their degrees. Explain the logic of that. As far as I know you get what you pay for.
Is there anyone we haven't made happy yet? It's ok though that 1.2 Billion tax cut for business will result in jobs. Would it have been too much to hold business to that scenario before raising taxes on everyone else? Who's the tax and spend group? I keep getting it confused.
Christmas is over but apparently Snyder-ly Whiplash is alive and well and assuming everybody is happy. Beware folks, the same thing could happen on the national scene if we don't take care. Want another "business person" running the US of A? Just saying.

HELLO 2012 - SCENES TO COME
Election year. Whoop te do! Now that they've made corporations the same status as people wonder who gets their election bought (hint-all of them)? Let's start a movement. Everyone TIVO through political commercials or just shut off the volume. They are really quite humorous if you shut off the sound.
Trying to find someone who understands and is in sync with the "people" could be a fruitless task. Here's a thought - look at their economic status and find out how they earned their money. That will tell you a lot about the candidates.I have no problem with a highly educated individual who actually knows something about finances, the world, etc.,and was not born privileged, but I have a real problem with "set-ups" who are only in the national spotlight because of who they know, who their daddy is or who's paying the bills.
Another topic: Of course been exercising every day while on vaca and there is a whole different crowd when you go later. Went as late as 8:30 today (Monday) and the place was filled with guys! Don't know if that is indicative of the employment status of the male population in this town or what. I will try not to speculate. However the masculine grunts and banging of weights as they loaded on too much was actually better than the "chatty cathies" who normally populate my early mornings. Also I believe I affected behavior (think toilet seat up in an all-male household) by very deliberately wiping each piece of equipment down before and after my use while muttering about pig people not showing the same courtesy. Eventually there was a gradual movement by the gentlemen to accommodate my delicate sensibilities. Don't care how they get there, just so they do. You're welcome Ladies.
