Michigan

I think Jennifer Granholm and her merry band of state legislators need to borrow my copy of Free to Choose.

Because when you have the worst economy in the country, what you should do is raise income taxes and raise taxes on services. Oh, and only cut spending 20%. Give me a break.

The Detroit News nailed it with this comment:

Yup. Expect more of the same. If Michigan could drop to 51st in the country in economic growth and unemployment rate, it would.
