How Democrats Destroy Economies Starring Gov. Jennifer Grandholm

Henry Payne at The Corner poses a very valid question. He asks, “Does anyone in the Michigan Democratic party know basic economics?“

Here’s why. The governor, Jennifer Grandholm, has called for 45 percent reduction in the use of fossil fuels in Michigan by 2020. The intention of the plan is to replace the fossil fuel with clean, green, renewable electricity. This, as demonstrated in Denmark, will result in a large increase in prices, possibly as much as 300 percent.

Following that move, the Democrats have called for a reduction in rates. No, really. They plan to make it law in 2010.

So they plan on meddling in the market, causing the price of electricity to rise, then mandate the cost to be lower than it already is, hence the questioning of Michigan Democrats understanding of basic economics.

Even better, with Michigan’s unemployment rate at a jaw dropping 15.4 percent, they are planing to raise the minimum wage to $10 in 2010.

Yep, that’ll fix it.

I find it interesting that the cities and states controlled mainly by liberals (as a general rule based on the past 10-20 years) are the ones that are in debt and/or have the highest levels of unemployment.

California, Michigan, New Jersey/New York, Massachusetts.
And if you think Romney is a conservative, you should be hit upside the head.

As the masses vote for those that promise to give the most, the decline of the republic becomes ever more so obvious as our Founding Fathers had warned. it looks as if we cannot hold onto Freedom much longer and America indeed faces either a Revolution or becomes a slave state before the Revolution. I for one will be fighting once gun confiscation is tried in any way. Once we give up the 2nd and the Bill of Rights we are a doomed people. At the moment there are millions of us both in the Armed Forces and in Civilian life who know the game and are ready willing and able to defend our homes, our nation and Freedom.

We all know where this is going and destroying the economy is their first step. What is next will be the scary part.

44Grim can add all the cities that have been run into the dirt by democrats. Washington, DC the most glaring example of inept governance. Or try Buffalo, NY, or Detroit or any of dozens of others. Why do people continue to vote for these imbeciles?
