We're dead last out of the fifty states Xboltz, that's how bad it is.
For half a century our state focused almost soley on auto manufacturing. Now GM and Ford are shipping all their jobs to mexico and everyone is buying cars from japan.
Granted, southern Michigan is in much worse condition than we are. Northern Michigan is more of a tourist area, but we're still feeling the effects. I don't think it's causing that many homeless people and such, I think on the whole, people are just leaving the state.

I need to ask you folks, just how bad is it economically in Michigan. I'm asking because just before they dropped the puck for the Red Wings/Avs game last night, the announcer says, "Even though Michigan is in economic trouble, the Red Wings still sellout every home game".
WTF? How bad is it that a fricken Hockey announcer makes a comment about it.
XBOLTS It's pretty bad. Some of us are getting by alright though. It's not exactly the great depression or anything. Mostly just a lot of people are leaving Michigan to find jobs in other states.
