THGE FISCAL CLIFF HANGER IS NOT THE ONLY CLIFF HANGER

Michigan politics are rather pungent at the moment.  Democracy is a thing of the past for Michigan residents.  The Koch bothers are winning and taking over more of the country though they may have lost the presidential election.  The politics in Michigan did not happen in a heart beat.  It smells of being planned for some time.  It would be helpful to know what, if anything, is being looked into by the attorney general who somehow has kept an extremely low profile in all these very sad events.

Boehner remains between a rock and a hard place.  What I would like to know is what is the pressure the forces outside our recognized government are bringing to bear on the turncoats like Snyder and the defiant Teapartiers who are ready to mess up the global economy to keep the money in the top 2% coffers.

The Supreme Court should have a busy time soon.  I can't believe that all the Republicans are doing in the states is really consistent with the intent of our Federal Constitution.  Let's hope that reality will set in as our forefathers intended for things to work for the good of all, not just for the megalomaniac Koch brothers.

The right-to-work issue was on the Michigan ballot last November: proposal 2 would have amended the Michigan constitution to bar the state from ever going right-to-work. This proposal went down in flames, losing by 15%. Romney was more popular than proposal 2 in the state. The failure of this ballot initiative is the reason why this bill glided through the Michigan legislature and landed on Gov. Snyder's desk.
