I have been bombarded with friends and relatives calling to unload their problems in a desperate need to release. I am glad to be there for everyone that I can possible help. But, where do I turn for the boost I need to carry on and unload some of these feelings.
I need an outlet the same as all of them. The times in Michigan are the worst I can remember. People are desperate for relief but our state government only talks of the wonderful things they will do “in the future”.
We are in a very critical time. We need someone to guide us out of the severe depression that is covering the state. People are losing there entire life’s savings to survive. Not only that, we are losing the homes we have invested our time and money into. When the news is that the majority of home owners in Michigan owe more than the value of their homes and home sales are at an all time low, where are we supposed to turn.
Michigan and this country need some strong leaders to start thinking about the citizens. Instead we have a group of leaders who are more interested in their cushy jobs and the benefits they can accrue.
How much farther down can we go before the people revolt and take this state back.
I for one, am ready to ditch Michigan and find a state where the government still works “for the people”.
One township officer I talked to recently stated, “Well, if you don’t like the way we handle things here, maybe you should consider moving”. Duh, aren’t these people voted in and paid by us? Since when are we the ones who need to change when our elected officials do wrong? Not only that, my home has been on the market for over two years and I have dropped the price to below my cost. How much am I supposed to sacrifice for the township and this state?
“Will the last person leaving Michigan, please turn out the lights”
