"Michigan is Wisconsin on the installment plan"

[TalkingDog]

I avoid hyperbole when possible. Because it has no place in finding practical solutions.

But now, I can say unequivocally, NOW we can call it Fascism.

The governor of Michigan is trying to force through the legislature a bill that would establish emergency rule, LITERALLY. Gov. Snyder is seeking emergency powers that would enable him to 1) unilaterally declare a "financial emergency", 2) disincorporate entire municipal governments, 3) dismiss elected officials with no replacement election to follow, 4) seize control of local civil services, 5) hand taxpayer money, services and POWERS to private, for-profit firms.

3. Can we just go ahead and change their title to "King" already?

"King Snyder of Michigan today decreed all servants of Detroit shall forfeit wages and labor to the control of Honorable Sir David Koch."
