If there were a way to recreate a factory based economy, believe me we would be in favor of it. Clearly lots of folks are getting hurt – through no fault of theirs – by the decline in manufacturing. The point we are trying to make is that this is not about right and wrong, it is about what is possible. Half of Americans used to earn a living on farms.Today it is 2%. Lots of folks got hurt when their farm job disappeared. But no matter how hard governments tried to help farming, those jobs never came back. Unfortunately the same in true for factory jobs. In large part because machines are now doing the work factory workers used to. We are not pro knowledge based industries or anti factory based industries. We don’t think government should pick any industry for special treatment. What we are in favor of is Michigan helping it people get ready for the jobs of today and tomorrow. It is something state government can do, it can’t turn the clock back.

These workers that are in the factories come first. Not the highschool grads. the people in the workforce on the factory floors should get the option first. Advancement of Michigan can only come from within the population working. We need to change back to get some experience working move forward a little. Rung by rung. Not lay every one off and force them back to school. Everyone who left Michigan is being considered for UN resolution 260 III violations and US chapter 50A resolutions. which constitutes a 20year prison sentence and a 1billion dollar fine. Get the knowledge based skills to the level that the slowet mental challenged person can understand and then talk about moving forward. The idea of a New World Order is a prison sentence in a gulag.
