Sure, California has problems. Our legislators can’t figure out that if you have $70 billion coming in that you can’t spend $90 billion. Still, there’s plenty of businesses located in the Bronze Golden State (mine included).
Then there’s Michigan. How would you like to be the owner of a small daycare facility and find out you were in a union? “But I’m the owner of a business,” you tell the state. “Tough,” they reply. Yes, that’s really occurring in Michigan.
Is it any wonder why on a per capita basis Michigan’s budget deficit is worse than California’s?
