Another audit critical of Mich. child care program
"For the second straight week, a state audit has been released criticizing Michigan's handling of child care for low-income families.
Auditor General Thomas McTavish said Tuesday the Michigan Department of Human Services potentially made $231 million in improper and in some cases fraudulent payments to day care providers."
So wrong on so many levels.
Why is the state in the daycare business?
It's obvious they can't provide an unecessary service without hundreds of millions of waste and fraud.
What is this program's total cost?
How much more $$$ are we taxpayers gonig to add to this disaster?

Fruitport Township passes support motion for casino
Fruitport Township passes support motion for casino
"The Fruitport Township clerk told 24 Hour News 8 there was a surprise move at Monday night's meeting to discuss a proposed casino on the property of the former Great Lakes Downs in Muskegon County's Fruitport Township.
A motion was passed to support the Little River Band of Ottawa Indian's proposal without any restrictions.
The meeting was scheduled to be informational but some board members were surprised that a motion was brought up for a vote."
I'm not for or against but ramming this thing through is starting to sound fishy.

Developing oil shale is best choice
Developing oil shale is best choice
"Democrats control Congress, so Americans ought to be asking about their plan to lower gas prices. Let's hope their plan doesn't rest on solar, wind and geothermal, because planes, trains and automobiles don't run on electricity. They run on oil — mostly foreign oil — 97 percent of the time. Let's also hope the Democrats' plan doesn't rest on ethanol to break our dependence on foreign oil, because it can't."

Marketing pitch aims to end population drop in Holland
Marketing pitch aims to end population drop in Holland
"The City Council is expected to vote Aug. 6 on a proposal to spend $50,000 on the first phase of the campaign, which would include a Web site highlighting local neighborhoods and other benefits of living in the city.
Since the 2000 Census, Holland's population has fallen 3 percent,"
WOW!
A web site!
I guess taxes, city regulation, the decline of the school system, crime, home values declining, etc. are not the problem...
The problem is the city doesn't have a cool web site!
Meebee the problem is the city has idiots running the city?

U.S. schools eye four-day week to cut fuel costs
"Facing a crippling increase in fuel costs, some rural U.S. schools are mulling a solution born of the '70s oil crisis: a four-day week."
Why not cut back to 1 day a week?
Isn't "mother earth" more important than kids?

"Barack Obama, a child during the ’60s, is imbued nonetheless with that decade’s “hope and change” messianic sermonizing. Now he wants a new mammoth government-funded “civilian national security force,” one “that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the Pentagon."
Wonderfully written.

The Soldier Voting Scandal
The Soldier Voting Scandal
"Rep. Roy Blunt, the House Republican whip, on July 8 introduced a resolution demanding that the Defense Department better enable U.S. military personnel overseas to vote in the November elections. That act was followed by silence. Democrats normally leap on an opportunity to find fault with the Bush Pentagon. But not a single Democrat joined Blunt as a co-sponsor, and an all-Republican proposal cannot pass in the Democratic-controlled House."
This is disgusting.
This IS the democrat party today.

$3 trillion USA budget!
Ten Thousand Commandments
"President George W. Bush’s federal budget for fiscal year (FY) 2009 proposed $3.107 trillion in discretionary, entitlement, and interest spending. This was the first-ever $3 trillion budget in the United States. Many other countries’ governments consume more of the national output than the government does, but in absolute terms, ours is the largest government on planet Earth. President Bush was also the first president to deliver a $2 trillion federal budget, as recently as 2002."
