Complaint Review: JENNIFER GRANHOLM - Governer

I hated to do this, but I had to close down my business in MI because she is so opposed to doing away with the SBT. It was only 45 jobs lost in the state, but each job counts. I was able to take along 3 of my people to help me start up elsewhere. If DeVos gets in, I might consider moving back but I and the others I had to hire down here are doing OK, so it's going to take a lot to convince me to go back to MI. I couldn't afford to stay in business there!

SAY WHAT YOU MAY, MORON. BUT THE FACTS ARE PROVEN. SHE LIED TO GET INTO OFFICE AND IS LYING AGAIN TO KEEP HER OFFICE. SHE MADE SEVERAL PROMISES SHE DID NOT KEEP! THERE IS NO GETTING AROUND IT, MICHIGAN IS IN A WORST POSITION DO TO THAT PIECE OF WORK LYING AND RUNNING HER MOUTH. LOOK AT THE FACTS....IT IS WHAT IT IS.

Just ignore the bush fans like tyler, he just made this report to retaliate agaisnt our bush reports because he got blasted buy us because we are not going to put up with anymore abuse from the bush fans. Just, ignore the bush fans then mabye they will go away, they are nothing but trouble makers & will do anything to put you down they want to hurt you don't let them hurt you blast them back & they will leave you alone, they will make fun of your spelling & typing because they think that they are so educated just ignore all the bush & hannity fans out their they come on this website to defend bush like how hannity does to tear down everybody who oppose bush this isn't a dictatorship country, & we have a right to oppose bush!.

for all the comments you make when reponding to people who think they understand the law (incuding me). However, after your last post, it's dwindling.

DeVos invented the pyramid scheme? That expression is now 'Politically Incorrect.' It's referred to as MLM and highly touted. There are many, many successful businesses who operate on the same premise.

Two children before marriage? Why didn't you marry as soon as you knew the first one was on the way? Who supported you, your children, and your children's mother? If your answer to the second question is the usual 'we weren't ready for marriage,' then why engage in acts reserved for married couples? There's proof that it took place not only once (OK--maybe a slip up) but twice! Couldn't keep it zipped or was it a case of 'it feels so good?' That's what perpetuates our welfare society--the attitude of 'I want what I want, when I want it!' I find it hard to believe my grandmother when she says there was once a feeling of shame when a child was born out of wedlock. Pity for the child, but high shame for the parents. And yet you boast of this accomplishment.

I admire you that under such a lowly beginning, you got a law degree. Did you repay your student loans? Have you repaid the state/federal government for support of your children until you married?

Just by issuing an executive order, Gov. Granholm can reduce the high gasoline prices we pay in MI. When a station owner pays his distibutor, included is $.198/gal. MI state tax. When the owner sells the consumer the gasoline, he has to tack on 6% sales tax--not per gallon, but per dollar! Isn't that double taxation--a tax paid on a tax once paid?

Engler did a great job of reducing our property taxes and he had to fight hard to do so. But over the past four years, slowly but surely, more 'help' programs were introduced and implemented. Guess those 16 programs to reduce teen pregnancy aren't working too well. And when another new program is put into place, an old one isn't removed.

A few things:

First, Jennifer Grandholm, as governor, doesn't have the authority to do ANY of the things you have attributed to her. All of those are legislative issues. Granted, she signs most of this legislation into law, but maybe your beef would be better placed with the legislature that voted it into her hands.

Second, d**k DeVos ran the largest pyramid scheme in world history. Most people attribute the very invention of the pyramid scheme to DeVos. Do you know how many people have lost hundreds of dollars to DeVos' evil empire? Do you really want the State of Michigan to be run like Amway?

Third, what is this business about children out of wedlock? Way to prove that you're just a conservative a*s who regurgitates whatever O'Reilly says. I knew alot of people who had chidren out of wedlock and at a young age. For the most part, they tend to be more successful now than the rest of my old friends.

And I include myself in that block. I had two children before I was married. My wife was 17 when she had our first child. 11 years later, we are married and doing quite well for ourselves. The truth is that, for most people, having children forces otherwise failures into leading productive lives. But I guess you'd rather listen to who yells the most than look into reality.

Hi, as a former resident of michigan and of detroit, granholm and kwame are the reason I moved. Granholm is a real piece of work. It's amazing how her resume changes each time she talks. Granholm has done nothing but screw up michigan. But I guess she think she can go to china etc on the tax payer money, but just wait the next election. Devos will win

YOU ALL KEEP ON TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE ON WELFARE GOING TO SCHOOL TO GET A BETTER JOB.

WHY IS SCHOOL ALWAYS THE ANSWER.

JUST BECAUSE YOU GET A DEGREE IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL GET A GOOD JOB NECESSARILY.

EMPLOYERS ARE LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCE, THAT IS THE BIG THING RIGHT NOW, AND GRANHOLM IS NOT REQUIRING THESE PEOPLE TO WORK, SO THEREFORE THERE IS NO EXPERIENCE IN ANYTHING BUT GETTING A FREE RIDE.

SHE ALWAYS SAYS EDUCATION IS THE KEY, BUT NOT NECESSARILY.

I HAVE MY DEGREE THAT IN THE END COST CLOSE TO 40K, BUT IT STILL TOOK ME A COUPLE YEARS TO EVEN GET A JOB THAT PAYS $10HR. BUT I WORKED MY WAY UP TO A POINT WHERE I MAKE A GOOD LIVING.

THAT IS WHAT THESE PEOPLE NEED TO DO, BUT GRANHOLM HAS EVERY EXCUSE IN THE BOOK.

BOTTOM LINE HER LYIN a*s IS GONE IN NOVEMBER, AND DEVOS WILL TAKE OVER AND BRING THIS STATE BACK TO A RESPECTABLE LEVEL, WITH HARD WORK!

At 26? Heaven's my friend, at 26, you are still young and full of energy! I really don't think that this is too old to become a contributing member of society. I tend to think in terms of 'reality', and that reality is that you tend to change you're thinking at several different ages, the most drastic in the mid 20's. You've tried what you thought would make you the millionaire (hmmm, I know a LOT of kids ages 17-24 who THINK they can be a rock star.....needless to say, that often doesn't work out!). At this point, the true reality of our world seeps in, and they realize that life goals must change if they actually want to make it in the real world! I also take into consideration that the drop out rate in the state isn't something to be proud of. Without this education, most of these kids are left to contemplate higher education at a later age. Now, they have to catch up before they can move on. Do you know that the only STATE requirement for a diploma in Michigan is a civics class??? The additional requirements depend on the school district that you're in.

I have a question for you. You have a problem with not capping welfare benefits. Do these same feelings apply to Social Security, SSI and Medicare benefits? By definition, these benefits are social welfare, programs put into place for those that are less fortunate. The biggest difference is that these benefits are federally distributed. Should there also be a cap on these benefits?

Unless you can become your own independent nation, free to make up your own rules, you will find that it really doesn't matter WHERE you live, you will encounter problems with those that 'run' the government. Granholm, in and of herself, can't change the way things are run without the support of the rest of state government. She's not a dictator, merely another cog in the wheel of government. And most of us out here know that being under a dictator is a far worse fate than what we currently have.... Maybe you should review your history and look up Hitler....or maybe turn on Court TV and catch a glimpse of Saddam.... I think that I'll take Granholm without welfare limits any time.

Your objection to the lifetime welare limit is faulty thinking. At 18, the gal is a mother, on welfare. At 19 she marries. Divorced 5 yrs. later, with another mouth to feed. On welfare an additional 2 years to go to school. Why in the h*ll didn't she go to school the first time she found herself on the dole? At least then the state (read: taxpayers) had only one kid to pay childcare for--now it has two. By the time she gets an Associate's Degree she's already 26. Isn't that a little late in life to get her foot in the door for a decent career? Just how long are we supposed to be supporting these freeloaders? And Jenny in Lansing is making it easier by the day.

I HOPE THESE POSTS ARE STILL UP HERE, WHEN DEVOS MOVES INTO LANSING.

TO SEE HOW THIS PIECE OF CRAP GOVERNER HAS RAN THIS STATE TO THE GROUND.

OF COURSE WHEN SHE DOES LOSE THE ELECTION THIS NOVEMBER, SHE WILL WHINE SHE NEVER GOT TO FINISH WHAT SHE STARTED, EVEN THOUGH SHE NEVER PLANNED TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON HER PROMISES IN HER RAH RAH SPEECHES.

WE WILL SEE SHE HAS TAXED THE CRAP OUT OF THIS STATE AND HAS LOST THOUSANDS OF JOBS, BUT OF COURSE SHE WILL SAY IT WAS NOT HER FAULT.

BUT SHE WILL SAY SHE CREATED OVER 153000 NEW JOBS EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS LOST MUCH MORE, BUT BY THAT TIME SHE TOO WILL BE OUT OF WORK.

THIS STATE NEEDS RELIEF AND HER LIES SHOULD NO LONGER BE TOLERATED.

SHE SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH ONE OF HER PROMISES, BUT THAT NEVER TAKES PLACE, BUT AGAIN SHE WILL CLAIM IT IS NOT HER FAULT.

SHE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE GOVERNER. NO ONE WITH ANY INTELLIGENCE RESPECTS HER AND THE ONLY REASON SHE GOT VOTED IN IS BECAUSE SHE IS A "WOMAN" IF THAT IS EVEN TRUE.

SO I HOPE GRANHOLM HAS HER BAGS PACKED, HER DAYS AT THE CAPITAL ARE NUMBERED.

COME NOVEMBER WE WILL NEVER HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT REPULSIVE MOLE ON HER FACE AGAIN OR LISTEN TO ANY MORE OF HER LIES!

In reading your original post, there seems to have been a misunderstanding in regards to a few things. First, rent (read housing here) is a cash benefit. Second, it's my belief that food stamp beneifits are a bit out of line here.....those on welfare get much more in food stamps (bridge card I've learned)for a family of 4 than I have to budget for our very large family. In addition to those food stamp benefits that they have, they are also encouraged to visit food banks, sign up for food baskets (available through local churches and organizations) etc. In short, those that don't work have the ability to eat meals that my family does not. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about what we can afford, only pointing out that those without a job......nevermind.

There are several things that come to mind in rectifying the current situation. First, there is NO WAY a family of four needs 500-600 per month for food benefits. Cut here first, knowing that in addition to those benefits, quite often WIC and food banks are involved and well utilized. Second, housing and heating are necessities. Any cash benefits should be paid directly to the vendors on a level basis (we pay a mortgage of $700 per month for a 5 brdm, 3 bath home... yet others pay rent of 1400-1500 for the same). The next door neighbor pays a house payment, electric, heat and insurance for a total of approx $600 (3 bdrm, 2ba). Landlords hike the prices for those on welfare, but if the state is paying directly to them, it's guaranteed, and should be more in line with actual costs.

I have to note here that my argument is with the 4 year limit. The limits that have been advanced are LIFETIME limits, not continuous limits. I don't believe that this is a workable situation. Look at it this way... 18 year old, with baby #1, trying to establish her own homestead, goes on welfare for a period of one year. At the end of this time period, she is married, and things are good. Five years down the road, a divorce occurs (statistically very realistic), and she once again ends up in a spot where welfare is a necessity to support her children (now 2 children). For a period of 2 years (she's now going back for a degree to better support her children), she's on welfare again. This has now eaten into 3 of her 4 years of welfare that the state has said are her 'lifetime' limit. While she may be a productive member of society for the next 20 years, what happens when, at the age of 48 or 49 she finds herself disabled, or her job is phased out because of technilogical advances, or merely a very poor job market for a period of a couple of years? A four year LIFETIME limit is not logical.

If the state were set up more in line with the unemployment system, this may work. Think about it..... for every so many months that you work, you're entitled to assistance for a SET period of time. This time period may be 2 years (the time that it takes you to earn a degree, or retrain in another area), with a penalty period applied for certain circumstances (you quit your job because the boss wouldn't allow another 2 days off because you were partying). In addition, conditional payback (be patient guys, the word just won't come to me right now) to the state would be required, starting the 4th (you pick the number, anything after 2, cause we all know those first 2 paychecks are already spent when you start work) paycheck, even in small amounts (let's go for $20.00 per week) for a period of time equal to the number of weeks that you collected assistance. In addition, limiting the amount of time during a set period that you can collect benefits, would be acceptable (given that certain exceptions were allowed, such as proving that there are NO jobs available or that your family situation is so desperate that there is NO way for you to work... ie:caring for your disable child/dying parent is economically more feasible than working, thereby an exemption should apply). I don't have a problem helping those that are 'down and out', realizing that at one point or another in all of our lives, this may become a reality. I do , however, believe that there should be some responsibility shown by those that are helped, whether it be in sweat equity or partial repayment, to those that are willing to lend a hand. For those that are at home because of a child/parent/spouse/sibling, I truly believe that this is a just cause. For those that are just staying home because 'I'm to good to work in a fast food restaurant', I have little sympathy.

Please don't get me wrong here, I know there's room for improvement in our state. I just feel that there's places where it's acceptable and places where it's not. Our family has always worked for a living, supporting our own (and given that we have 10 children, there are times when it's been difficult), but I also know that there are those out there that haven't been as fortunate as we are, as well as those that for reason of disablity, illness or family distress, are unable to work. I also realize that whether it's Granholm, Devos, Feiger.... they are all held to a standard of other powers that be. While they get the credit for the positive things that happen, the real credit should go to those that ALLOW it to happen. The Senate, the Legislature, the Representatives..... all of these people are the ones that influence the end result.

Changes are needed.... the real question is, HOW do we, as the people, get these changes put into effect? Until a system is put into place that allows the majority to actually influence the policies in realistic terms, we're stuck with what we have.... which by the way, isn't much. If our state were run in a compassionate, FAMILY orientated environment (hmmmm, what do we teach our children?), this state, this COUNTRY, will continue the current decline. As a family, you are taught VALUES, MORALS, and CONSEQUENCES that mean something. As a state, and a country, it's pretty much EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF (ie:the rich get richer, and the poor are out of luck!). Maybe we need to scrap all of the current laws, and start over with the 10 Commandments, and work our way from there.

Politics? Not for me. I think that I'll just stick to making sure that my children are raised to live life in a compassionate, loving manner. But in the meantime, I'll hold to my beliefs, voice them as needed, and just try and survive. There has to be something better out there, but until the current system is changed, we're not going to find it. Geez, where are the Walton's when you need them? LOL

Tyler your crying is getting on everybodys nerve's you whine like a little boy I really wish aliens would come to abduct all republicans the united states would be better off if republicans were not incontrol. Republicans are behind all this corruption in the united states REPUBLICANS WILL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE IN 2008.

Jenny was pretty good. I especially admired the way she went after the gas station gougers after 9/11. On 9/12/01, I was driving south on M-24 and couldn't believe the outlandish gas prices posted! She went after these characters and made them pay dearly. Too bad she didn't stay in that position.

Under Engler, welfare recipients who were able, had to work or go to school 40 hours per week to be able to stay on the dole. And childcare was tossed in as an extra bonus. I believe it was after four years a recipient was cut off. Isn't that long enough? Tommy Thompson did the same in Wisconsin. States all over the nation used this model to cut their welfare expenses.

Then the libs took over, saw there was extra money in the states' coffers, so they found many ways to spend it. So-called 'helping' programs were instituted--many overlapping. There are now 16--yes I said SIXTEEN--teen pregnancy prevention programs in the state! Sixteen programs to show girls how to keep their legs crossed?

Engler cut both our property and income taxes. So far, Jenny's done a good job of increasing many taxes, cigarettes, liquor, etc., but many in raising 'fees.' Gone to get a driver license renewal lately? It'll cost you more. How about the license tag renewal? It'll cost you more. But the MCCA is still there (which I pay for) to cover the deadbeats who don't/won't carry insurance on the junkers they drive. I wouldn't want to drive a decent car while peddling drugs, either.

Feiger? Yep--the answer to every lazy person's dream. DeVos ran a corporation. He has a much better handle on how to make money for us than a Canadian who believes we should send all our money to Lansing and she'll decide how it should be 'redistributed.' Read: the Canadian healthcare system.

Okay, you say we need to lend a helping hand, I agreed with it. But four years is plenty of time to find a job, and stop having kids you can't afford. There should be 0 cash benfits food stamps and rent is plenty, you got to work for the rest. I propose if you bring a child into this world, you can not afford, it should be put up for adoption and put into a good home, where they have a chance in life. These children grow up with thier parents not working and in turn they do the same when they grow up. I applaud your husband for his hard work, this state needs more people like him, doing what it takes to support thier families. But if he gets laid off he only gets unemployment for a certain period, and then they cut him off, reguardless of how crappy the job market is. So then what? But with welfare, if you continue to not work and continue to have children you cannot support, the handouts will continue and that then will be passed on to the next generation. I know welfare is not a great lifestyle, it's free! why should it be, and like i said earlier there should be 0 cash benefits, you get food and shelter for free that is all you need, its free so you can not complain. 4 years is plenty of time to get a job at minimum wage and work your way up. Granholm is a big rip off, under Engler things were better, not good but better. Granholm has never done anything she said she was going to, she is a scam.

Was Engler any better? While he was in office, the only thing that he managed to do was to have triplets, gain weight, and put Michigan in the position that Granholm took over. Our consumer rights were severely watered down under Engler, our state moved into decline! Just try and find any relief when you're screwed over by a builder and you'll see what I mean!

As for your comment about passing a law concerning children born out of wedlock......such as? You would punish a child for the actions of the parents? Yes, that's going to make me take you more seriously......NOT!! Compassion for those that are needy, elderly, and have special needs should be considered a GOOD quality, not something that you critisize someone for. There are those out there that have HAD to utilize the welfare system (which, by the way, is in no way shape or form to be considered living in luxury....why don't you look up the average benefits allowed to these people before advocating cutting them off! Not only have food stamp benefits -now under the guise of some sort of card- been dropped considerably, but cash benefits are nearly NON-EXISTENT, certainly not enough to support the average family!). These are the same good people that have worked for a company for YEARS (can we say Second Chance, Ford, Lear) and through no fault of their own, are now out looking for a comparable job to try and support their families. With limits in place, these very same people may be ineligible to collect benefits because of something that happened in the past, a mistake that they've long since made up for.

My husband works upwards of 80 hours per week, glad for his job, supporting our family. Yes, we have times when we struggle, but you'll not hear us complain about helping out those that need it. We will continue to teach our children to lend a hand, donate what they can, help another in need WITHOUT judgement. We will continue to teach them to sort fact from fiction (yes, Granholm has raised taxes on all of our 'sins'...and yes, it's not something that I agree with. But what about the energy companies that know there are so many out there struglling to keep their homes warm this winter because of outrageous heating bills, yet gladly and without remorse report that they will have a $100+ million dollar profit over last year??? So who's 'sins' are greater, taxing that which is an extra or raising the prices of that which is a necessity in the name of profit?).

In politics, there is no winning. It doesn't matter who is running, they will tell their audience whatever they think the majority want to hear, then do whatever they are pressured to do once in office. Engler, Granholm, Devos.....it really doesn't matter, you won't see any of them step up when it counts (who's protecting the students of Michigan Public Schools from the felons that work within the system? The story's out, and the judicial system is in the process of protecting their names (the felons, mind you) from the public. As I'm pointing out, when it COUNTS, there's no one there!!)

You want to change things, start at home and work your way from there. There's no sense in raising your blood pressure and blowing a heart valve over something that you're not going to change at the state level. As for Devos? Good Luck, he's just another member of the good ol' boy system...the rich get richer, the poor get dropped in the dumpster. Might want to think about Feiger, at least he's not afraid to do whatever it takes to get the desired result.
