The 11 States Where Unemployment Is Dropping The Fastest

[sauerkraut]

Yes, he does seem to have a firm grasp on the belief that the gov't creates jobs. 

The gov't makes the policies - the tax structure, the laws and regulations- if those are not favorable to business they will go elsewhere. Slap in a lot of high taxes and regulations and watch compaines flee to neighboring states. The gov't has alot to do when it comes to jobs and the economy. Mary Fallin is making a state gov't that is favorable to business with a friendly business climate, and she cuts regulations- that makes jobs. If you raise taxes on a company then issue all sorts of regulations and controls you'll get a economy like Michigan.

um...thank you Madam Fallin for your wisdom and largesse and ability to time travel.

Yes, it's regulation and not the overreliance on one particular industry that has caused Michigan's problems.

Actually, it went downhill when they replaced Jeff Daniels with Tim Allen on their Dept. of Tourism commercials.

In Michigan's case it's both, but the state chased many car companies, (and small companies that make parts for the car companies) out of the state with high taxes and regulations. Other states with alot of regulations and  high taxes lose jobs to more friendly states like Texas. Mary Fallin is making Oklahoma a friendly state for companies to do business in, and that means jobs and a robust economy. The bottom line is the gov't does play a roll in the economy since they control the free market place with taxes, rules, and regulations.

Did you know that mplayer has an ascii art output plugin, so you can watch whole movies in ascii art?



Seems like it wasn't all that long ago that porn on the computer was all ASCII art. The problem was that one picture was usually several pages long.

And most everyone used fan-fold paper rather than individual sheets.

I shouldn't have gotten rid of my tractor feed wide format dot matrix Oki some years back.

My laser printer jams a lot more often. I probably need to replace the rollers, but the roller kit is only slightly less expensive than a new printer.
