12.3% is child's play. Detroit is at 28.9%, Highland Park is 38%, Pontiac is 35%, and Flint is 28%. There's not even the flicker of a candle at the end of this tunnel. Well, I take that back. There was a huge announcement at a local GM plant 2 weeks ago. They won a 'Green' contract to produce parts for the Chevy Volt - the savior of the environment, General Motors and the economy all wrapped in one!! All the glitterati were there of course taking credit for this major coup. This is great, I'll bet it means 1000's of new local jobs. I had to do some digging but finally found the number: 35 new jobs, Green jobs just as promised .....
The next several months are going to be brutal around here as small businesses who have been operating on their reserve funds finally throw in the towel. But let's not focus on trivial issues like this - all our resources need to be directed to implementing national healthcare as quickly as possible.
