CB: Yeah. Bernero ran very left. He said he was going to take state money out of banks that didn't carry out the mortgage modification plan, put a moratorium on mortgage foreclosures, made Mainstreet vs Wall Street v his campaign theme, picked a Black woman mayor as his running mate. I was in Bert's at karaoke on the Saturday before the election. I was going to say vote for Bernero before I sang. Next thing I know there's Verg Bernero coming into the bar saying a few words. Anyway, the Republicans won all state offices and majorities in both Houses of the legislature. So, it is squarely on them to balance the state budget. How they will cut taxes on business and do that too will be quite a trick. And then how are they going to fix the economy ? Isn't it the Republican idea that government should stay out of the economy ? Let the economy fix itself ? Free enterprise and the free market. Yet, this Republican is elected on the promise of fixing the economy _as governor_, which means by government means in derogation of the Republican fake free market ideology. But hey, Mr. Capitalist ( Snyder is a middle sized capitalist), show us how to use the government to fix the economy. That'll be a form of socialism. And if the economy doesn't get better, there will be clearly only one party to blame in Michigan. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
