This is a prime example of why government spending is never a good thing. The government will ALWAYS spend more money than it has (thanks to all of the idiots crying for government money), and then when deficits like this arise, the people are the ones fucked. It's a grand system, isn't it?
Not to mention this is why you don't let a Canadian try and govern your state. Stupid Granwhore.

Yeah... and your country does such a great job in that department too. Only difference is, is that while we are running surpluses each year running, your government will have to once again raise the debt cap. What is it now, like, $8.9 Trillion? Better raise it fast, otherwise it won't be just Michiganites that'll be on the dole.
Dumb people come from any country.
Anyhow, many of Michigan's problems stem from its reliance on the auto sector. The UAW has done way more harm than good for the average-joe, and therefore, Domestic automakers are having to pack up and leave for other states, or countries, especially Canada and Mexico, and soon, China.
That shift could have been prevented, or lessened if the UAW realized that their demands could not be sustained in the future, or if people dissolved that moronic organization, and accepted the fact that you shouldn't be making $30+ an hour bolting rivets onto a truck frame, plus a gold plated health and retirement plan, and expect to keep it going.
Now that the deal with General Motors is done, only time will tell if the UAW will finally fossilize like the rest of the dinosaurs, or if it'll strangle America's last major manufacturing sector, and die with it.
