Detroit decay…
It appears that the state of Michigan is actually going to begin razing some of the thousands of abandoned properties in the city of Detroit. The city claims it has already torn down some 4,500 buildings, but I doubt the mayor’s goal of 10,000 will be reached by the end of 2013 as he claimed.
Christians attacked…
In Dearborn, Michigan, by Muslims. And this isn’t the first time, but it is the worst to date. I expect that next year Christians will be completely banned from the area so as not to upset the sensitive little children attending the Arab International festival there.
And mainstream media will not report it.
Food stamp lotto winner…
It’s not enough to distrust your federal government; you should distrust government it at every level. If you are one of the remaining people not driven out of Michigan by the ruinous progressive economic policies of former Gov. Jennifer Granholm, you now have the lovely vision of a $2 million lottery winner told by the state to continue using his food stamp card.
Lying on cap-and-trade…
For the disaster cap-and-trade will heap upon Michigan, see this editorial from The Detroit News.
Of course, the paper neglects to mention the state’s Democratic governor, Jennifer Granholm, has already tried much of Obama’s economic plan, and apparently remains surprised that businesses have fled to friendlier locales, and unemployment continues to grow as they do so.
The last line gets it right: “The only upside is that the negative impact it will have on economic growth and job creation will take care of the carbon emissions problem, for sure.”
And that will be the story in EVERY state if cap-and-trade goes into effect. Obama knows this, but he doesn’t care. His ideology triumphs all else, as you are seeing.
What is hidden from your view is how cap-and-trade will profit General Electric, run into the ground by CEO Jeff Immel, who put in a letter this week that he believes the Obama administration will be a profitable “financier” and “key partner.” This is the same Immel who continued to do business with Iran after denying the company did so.
GE has lobbied hard for the government to impose greenhouse gas restrictions. According to Timothy Carney’s article, GE Employees and executives gave $1.35 million to politicians in the last election, its PAC $1.55 million. About 64% of the total went to Democrats, with Obama “easily the top recipient.”
GE”s joint venture, Greenhouse Gas Services, invests in and “hopes to manage the trade in” greenhouse gas credits. If Obama’s budget line item labeled “climate revenues” is expected to total $646 billion over 8 years, how much do you imagine GE will be making off this scam? Won’t that be a nice reward for backing His Oneness?
