Virg Bernero says "it would be a lending "backstop" and be used to help ease the current credit crunch. "  Suggesting bonds and state funds be used to create the bank.

As one of our esteemed writers posited two days ago:

"What Virg seems to be unable to fathom is that the credit crunch is the result of stupid government busybodies like himself not only enacting regulations that enticed lenders to play Texas Hold 'em with depositor's money, but also pronounced the gamblers too vital to the American economy to fail. Their wise intrusions into what should be a private enterprise have tightened the credit markets so thoroughly that even the Chinese are starting to tire of our panhandling."

   "The Republican National Committee plans to raise money this election cycle through an aggressive campaign capitalizing on "fear" of President Barack Obama and a promise to "save the country from trending toward socialism."

    The strategy was detailed in a confidential party fundraising presentation, obtained by POLITICO, which also outlines how "ego-driven" wealthy donors can be tapped with offers of access and "tchochkes."

Congratulations to our (Michigan) Representative Dave Camp, and the excellent performance of the GOP leader Boehner, Ryan and company.

Please don't think it is done however.  If you think the arrogance of the left which was on display in full living color streamed over the TV and on line will settle for a drubbing as a reward for their pitiful poetry reading of the victims of real life, you might think again.  The smell of complete control over a 5th of the economy is a political aphrodisiac of inordinate measure.

In a year that will likely bring strong gains for conservatives and republicans alike, it appears there would be little gained even for name recognition by the bit players in the Democrat left.  Former treasurer Bob Bowman took one look at Michigan's finances, the party in power and said.. umm yeah.. I don't think so... From the Detroit News:

Bowman formed an exploratory committee last week but said in his statement he was compelled to do so because he had spent over $500 in considering a bid.

Bowman works in New York City and lives in suburban Connecticut but has a summer home in the northern Michigan community of Harbor Springs. He's also president of the Michigan Education Trust.

Received from the Michigan Republicans:

Lansing, MI--As Bob Bowman filed his paperwork for a Democratic gubernatorial bid, the Michigan Republican Party warns Michigan families to guard their wallets.

"Bob Bowman is a wall street carpet bagger who is responsible for the 38-percent tax increase on Michigan families under the Blanchard administration,"  said Michigan Republican Party Director of Communications Jennifer Hoff.  "He's just another Harvard Democrat like Jennifer Granholm--look where's she's gotten us.

If you haven't heard, Michigan has been in a recession.   In fact, it has been an ongoing problem for about 5 or 6 years.  The funny thing is, though the country is now getting a taste of what Michigan has endured in that time, there will be many throughout the country that have the same willful ignorance of the cause of their malaise.

Sadly some of the most skilled orators are the most deceptive.

Trusting her judgment is not an option any longer.  In fact, there is nothing redeeming about the miserable failure Jennifer Granholm and the machine which placed her in the driver's seat of the work truck of the nation.  Michigan needs a mechanic pretty badly now, as the brakes are shot, the tank is 3/4 empty, and we are running on 2 flat tires.
