Why do our Politicians and the Media lie to us?

Has anyone noticed that the politicians and media are trying to put the best slant on the economy these days?
Governor Snidley says that Michigan is rebounding???? What about Detroit, burning, massive debt, and 45% unemployment and about to get worse.
They say the housing market is recovering? Why do the numbers say the worst housing market since the great depression?
Unemployment is getting better? Why are there so many people who have dropped out of the job market? Why are new college grads 50 % unemployed and or underemployed? What about the veterans who come back from Afghanistan to unemployment?
Is it me or is there a conspiracy to moderate the news, and try to present a good front during and election year?
Last I looked, gas was still 43.75 per gallon, milk has sky rocketed, groceries are out of sight. Insurance is going up.
OK so maybe I am missing something critical here?????
Oh yeah my pension DID NOT GO UP !!!!!!!!!!!! in fact Governor Snidley decide I have too much money and now he wants it???????
You know what, I just wish he would come around and personally stick a gun in my back and take my wallet, that way I would feel like I was worthy of personal attention.
He needs to be an honest stickup man not a sleazy back room deal kind of guy he has turned out to be.
So why did we vote him in? Because he promised hope and change?? ( sound familiar )
What we got was his hope to take his agenda and pay off his buddies, and the way he did it was to take everything from us including our spare change.

Hey Snidley !!!!!! where are the JOBS ????, Where are the benefits to Michigan?????

So why does the media and politicians lie to us?
Because they think we are stupid and they know what is best for us?

You know what? give me my money back and get out of my way I think I can figure out for myself where to best spend my money, and it certainly is not in bigger government spending.

We do not need another Bridge to nowhere? ( Canada same thing as no where), it only helps trucking from Mexico to Toronto no need to stop in Detroit.

take care check back later
