Nobama Care

There is no sense in setting ourselves up for failure by creating a nationalized healthcare system. The United States already provides healthcare that is regarded as being among the best in the world, making it irrational to model a new system after programs that are substandard to our own.

A smart gamble

Kyle Francis - 12:12pm April 10, 2009 [ Community ]

With the Michigan economy and unemployment rate on a downward spiral, the news of any business opening is good news, especially when that business is expected to make a significant impact on the job market.
