I live in the state of Michigan
- Where unemployment exceeds the national rate
- Where major companies like Pfizer, Comerica, and KMart moved their national headquarters
- Where Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler are cutting jobs
- Where major Tier One automotive suppliers are declaring bankruptcy at a staggering rate
So what do Michigan people do when there’s a declining economy?
If you live in my county, you’d think that you’re supposed to go out and buy a newer, bigger SUV (in spite of continually climbing gas prices and long commutes), larger house, and spend massive amounts of money on entertainment and other luxury items. Even our own state government got into the mood a couple of weeks ago when, in the midst of trying to solve their billion + dollar deficit, they announced a plan to provide every school child in the state with an iPod.
I don’t get it!

All this is doing is encouraging kids to lose their hearing faster.
My generation is a deaf one.
