So, not only do we have a horrid economy, and business and wealth leaving our state, but now we're going to lose our government support? Where's it end!

Good, Welfare needs to be abolished anyway.

i agree with that 100% Too many people take advantage of that anyway.

What i'm scared of is reduced fire/police, no Secretary of State, no Mail, Less state troopers, etc.

Mail is federal.

No boose! Stores will sell current stock but cannot get more.

Reduced staff at prisons, no more state-run programs. Schools loose funding in 16 days, Universities in 21. If they loose their state income, many will close until they get this shit figured out.

I think things will be resolved in under a week. They've been working at it for quite a while and this will really put the hammer to their nuts.

Time to stock up.

I'm guessing it'll be like the strike a week ago...it'll last one or two days or something short, then it'll be done. i think i read somewhere that this happened in 2 other states, and it was resolved quickly.

So I get that people hate paying taxes to support deadbeats and leeches but what's the alternative? Do you guys really think having 1000's of unemployable folks—with no source of income or means to generate it—out on the street is a good idea?

It's already happening. Look at Detroit.

ahahaha, on the news "5...4....3...2....1...Good Morning, it is monday, and the state of Michigan has run out of money."

Immigrate to Canada. Shit apparently rolls uphill geographically speaking.

It wasn't lack of money, it was the fact that Republicans and Democrats couldn't pass a single piece of legislation outlining the state budget for the year.

Nothing happened, an agreement was made prior to 8a.m. Monday the 1st.

And here I was hoping to sell my boose for a considerable markup in a week.
