    Michigan Business Done Right - The Sale

    Stuff, product, hard goods..  Like food, many things spoil on the shelf.  Technology gets old, designs change, and so does the interest of the public as it is swayed from one boutique to the next.  Obsolescence need hardly be planned in most businesses which rely on selling for their income.  As times change, the demands of the public do so as well, and what was last year's state of the art component, is soon found in the bargain bin or clearance rack.

    Sadly, Politics can respond much in the same way.  Overblown, over complicated product of the political mind is often bought all too easily by a public which always wants NEW and IMPROVED, but soon finds nothing improved but the packaging, and shiny new logos.  And then, as the cycle goes, the product that was bought and sometimes returned, soon finds its way back out on the shelf looking like the next generation of solutions in the dollar store of ideas.  

    The value becomes lessened, and now the left is having a fire sale.  Nothing is of any quality, but it sure is CHEAP..

    Given the extensive line to the return desk, the liberatzis are pushing the advertising to the limits, complete with COUPONS and an AS-IS with no return policy. Nationally, the sales event is nearly a mandatory requirement.  What better selling tool than coercion through crisis? Sell, Sell, Sell! You need it whether you like it or not!

    Locally, we have some smaller deals to be had however..

    Now that Andy Dillon, the Michigan Speaker of the House wants to move onto the bigger and better things.  He has shown he is willing to forgo a little of his political profit for the time being for more spending power later.  Then he will be able to really sell you a bill of goods.  He has backed some changes that sure don't seem to match what is inside the box:

    Dillon's proposal, under consideration in the state House, has won plaudits since its release in July. But most of them have come from Republicans. Union leaders, a key Democratic Party constituency, have been fiercely critical, complaining that projected savings - Dillon says taxpayers could save up to $900 million a year from a statewide insurance pool - are illusory and, to the extent they exist, would come directly out of the pockets of public employees.

    Wow! And even one of our better former governors is buying some of that. ..well OK,  maybe he is only sampling.

    Speaker Dillon's sale is for bad product however.  The box is nearly empty, the sample is pretty much all you get.  Do not expect it to last past the DOA warranty, and it spoils fast.

    Maybe a little more shopping is in order..  Keep me away from the "bargains.." OK?

    shopping these "bargains" I would fall over flat.

    Of course I'm not concerned, tee hee.

    "possibly not helpful" endorsement... :D

    Engler is no fool.  This little tap dance is funny. We know they both know the other isn't remotely fixed.

    Does Dillon think he can provide new quotes for the campaign season and everyone will forget his actual record and quotes of substance?

    I think Andy Dillon vastly overestimates the stupidity of conservatives in this state.  No way, no how.
