Lets see now!!! No jobs or should I say very little good ones left, I happen to have a good one, but many don’t…… The auto plants are laying off, so that makes the ripple effect for a whole lot of people, and lets not even talk about the TAXES in this state and on top of that how about the roads we drive on, that’s a real big joke, pot holes and orange barrels, Don’t get me wrong Michigan is a beautiful state if your heading north but down here near Detroit, I’m about 70 miles NW of Detroit and if you live on or near a lake you pay higher taxes, its not the price of the house it’s the taxes we have to pay.The bottom line to the whole advertising thing is they are blowing smoke up your but, it’s a little hard to make mortgage payments and car payment (not to mention Tractor payments) when the only jobs left to hire you is Wal-marts or a minimum wage job. And I won’t get started on the price of gas or diesel fuel around here. Lets see you drive 20 miles to go to work at minimum wage Wal- mart you make $5.50 an hour it costs you $3.10 per gallon of gas, so that leaves you about $2.20 to make your house and car payment. I don’t know about you but that’s really hard to live on these days. The bottom line is there is a lot of people out of work trying to make ends meet and there is no relief in the near or maybe distant future for some. So as the old saying goes “ last one out of Michigan turn the light off”..

Earthwrks… I’m east of Howel

And Yooper said living beyond their means many of the idiots buy these $300 $400 and yes $500 thousand dollar homes with NO money down and 3% interest only loans, and the loan is only good for three or five years and then reality hits now they have to get a real loan and find out they can’t afford the house in the first place. I just heard today that the unemployment in Michigan is said to be around 6%, but in realty it’s about 24% or higher, the 6% they state on the radio or TV is the unemployment in the last 6 months. They don’t tell you about the people who are still on unemployment or off of it do to the fact their time is up and they can’t find a job.
