First Things First

Unlike the previous post, this is not a parody. This guy is the chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party -- a state which has the nation's highest unemployment rate. He knows how to
bring Michigan back:

First, we’re proposing that all employers in Michigan be required to provide affordable, quality health care for their employees and dependents or pay a penalty. We have more than 1.2 million people in this state who do not have health insurance. Many of those people are employed but their employers do not provide health insurance.

Most likely because they can't afford it. And ObamaCare isn't gonna help in the long run.

Second, we believe the minimum wage should be increased from $7.40/hour to $10/hour. ... Study after study has proven that raising the minimum wage would not deter job creation in our state.

Sure they do. I'd love to see them, because I seriously doubt they really show that. But okay, let's take this guy at face value: if that's the case, why not boost the minimum wage to $50/hour? Or $100/hour? That'll solve the problem! For about a week, before businesses -- who, unlike this tool, know damn well that there's a direct correlation between cost and profit -- go out of business.

Next, cutting utility rates by 20 percent would be a significant savings to both consumers and businesses.

No doubt. Of course, it'll kill the companies that provide utilities, along with the suckers who invested in them.

Much more could be said, and The Blog Prof says it.
