When all your state's remaining residents are forced to rely on unemployment benefits, that's pretty much the only thing keeping the economy afloat. But Michigan Governor Rick Snyder doesn't care. He signed a law that on the surface seems like it was just written to allow residents to collect benefits extended by the federal government, but hidden in the language is a cut to unemployment benefits next year, changing the law so Michigan will only pay 20 weeks of benefits, the lowest level in the nation. The Michigan Chamber of Commerce says the law is a "huge win for job providers," but isn't that an oxymoron? Who exactly provides jobs in Michigan these days? Pretty much just U-Haul. Get out while you still can, Michiganders. Rick Snyder is trying to destroy you.
Might have been Bill Clinton. Pretty much everyone had a job when he was President. Even me. How foolish we were to follow his economic and tax policies!
Nah, cutting unemployment is the best way to kickstart the underground economy. That meth's not going to make itself, people. Plus, underground economies don't generate tax revenue and didn't the GOP decide that tax revenue is bad?
Good thing everyone's issuing FOIA requests for Michigan labor studies professors. They might conclude that this hurts the economy and who wants that published?
Too many brand names.
jesus christ. he's like a cardboard cut-out republican villain only he was actually elected.
Do you live in Canada? Do you have any space to rent to me?
I admit it sounds bad, but I'm going to withhold judgment until I hear Eminem's take on the matter. Maybe next Super Bowl.
150 years sounds about right. Just before the Civil War -- slavery was legal, income tax was 0%, no 14th, 17th, etc amendments. No Reagan though.

And I suppose those with jobs will expect a day off for Christmas, picking an employer&#039;s pocket.
Your Majesty, the peasants are revolting.
They certainly are.
