Comments on: Labor & The Feeding Trough – Cause and Effect Part II http://michigantaxes.com/wordpress/2009/02/labor-the-feeding-trough-cause-and-effect-part-ii/ Ongoing discussion of how Michigan burdens its taxpayers as well as other Michigan Issues, Satire, and Commentary Mon, 14 May 2012 00:14:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: WadeHM http://michigantaxes.com/wordpress/2009/02/labor-the-feeding-trough-cause-and-effect-part-ii/comment-page-1/#comment-588 WadeHM Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:51:26 +0000 http://michigantaxes.com/wordpress/?p=1246#comment-588 Unfortunately, all Queen Jenny knows to do is throw money at problems without solution. How many times has GM gotten money and breaks and in turn provided us with nothing but lies and broken promises? "she neglects to even consider the reason or reasons that jobs would leave Michigan." I think neglect is not the word to use, more like deliberately blinds herself to the truth because she is a true Democrat and all she believes is easily wrapped up in a simple sentence, raise taxes and give away money and all our problems will be cured. When that doesn't work, which it hasn't since she has been governor, blame Engler and Bush as the evil twins who wrecked Michigan, which she has done since she has been governor. Can't be her fault, she has done all she can for the state, just look at her impeccable record. Not a single one of her jobs programs have born any fruit, yet she still raves on about all the great things she has done. No, not even blind, she can't handle the truth so she lives her life in a fantasy world where she can be perfectly happy and nothing goes wrong, if it does, it isn't her fault. Dear Lord, can you please take away my conscience too so I don't have to have feelings of guilt? Amen Unfortunately, all Queen Jenny knows to do is throw money at problems without solution.

“she neglects to even consider the reason or reasons that jobs would leave Michigan.”

I think neglect is not the word to use, more like deliberately blinds herself to the truth because she is a true Democrat and all she believes is easily wrapped up in a simple sentence, raise taxes and give away money and all our problems will be cured.

When that doesn’t work, which it hasn’t since she has been governor, blame Engler and Bush as the evil twins who wrecked Michigan, which she has done since she has been governor. Can’t be her fault, she has done all she can for the state, just look at her impeccable record.

Not a single one of her jobs programs have born any fruit, yet she still raves on about all the great things she has done. No, not even blind, she can’t handle the truth so she lives her life in a fantasy world where she can be perfectly happy and nothing goes wrong, if it does, it isn’t her fault.

Dear Lord, can you please take away my conscience too so I don’t have to have feelings of guilt? Amen

Well reasoned solutions cannot be discovered if ALL we do is throw money at a problem. The true cause of those problems become masked much in the way narcotics will hide back pain. Even though a disk might still be out you don't feel it until the medication wears off.

But as Newt pointed out in your previous post, and as she is proving by failure to learn from the ethanol debacle, there's no evidence she understands economics or is able to learn even from her own mistakes.
