Michigan sure does not make anything from the movies!!

And another thing!... why are so enamored by the movie industry? Instead of concentrating on getting real jobs for real people in our state, the people in charge are spinning their wheels sucking up to an industry that could care less about us! One of the recent political ads mentioned that Clint Eastwood was paid $800,000 dollars to do a recent movie here. While this may be great for places where these actors live and spend money, it does not do a whole lot for Michigan! When you consider the big tax break we are giving up for the dubious privilege of making a few movies, Michigan comes out on the short end of the stick!!! It seems to me that keeping companies in Michigan that employed people living here and spending here would be a much better choice!!

We learn from each other!

I was watching one of my favorite shows Sunday, "Meet the press", and I must admit that I got extremely frustrated!! We are taught from an early age not to lie, but when I see politicians wobble on the truth, it gives me a huge sense of distrust! Why is it that it seems NOT a single person wants to be truthful. When asked a question, it seems common practice to always answer with a short story skirting the issue instead of saying yes or no!! There is only one answer to a question!!!
