Things are getting a little better here job wise, but not by leaps and bounds. Sadly I think they are still battling this law out in the courts. Typical red tape crap.

Someone in Michigan must need some good press. While this bill may appeal to people reading the headline, it really doesn't do much in the bigger scheme of things. With all the exceptions available and an added safety net funded by gov. I don't see what the point is.

"Then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat, signed a bill that created a four-year limit starting in 2007. But that law exempted many welfare recipients, including those whose caseworkers said they were making progress toward finding employment."
What's to bitch about? Sounds like Jenn Granholm was a Repubs wet dream come true? Since then the statehouse Repubs pulled out all the stops and pulled every dirty trick they could during the lameduck period with the goal of turning the home of the UAW into yet another right to starve state. For what? To compete with Indiana? Oh, please. Michigan has turned into a land of fairytales. I'm sure my Yooper gramps would have some choice words for the anti-union crowd in Lansing. Friggin' traitorous bastids.

It's slow all over, Dave. That was the biggest hole we've had to dig ourselves out of since the '30's. At least the Prez didn't let the auto industry go belly up like the Republican party was all for back in '08 - '09.

That people don't want to work? No, it's a lot bigger than him, but he makes a good mascot.

It is not a good thing for anyone to say they are glad to be old, but I am glad I am. It gets very, very depressing trying to find work and getting rejected time and time again. It can make a person feel downright worthless.

I hear ya. My better half has been getting no response from applications for years. It sucks. She's only a handful of years from retirement age. I've got 9 years to go so, I'll probably just up and die in the traces...

You know me better than that, Was.
It must be Obama's fault that the economy is getting better despite the best efforts of the Teabaggers in congress.
