Michiganians are suffering and our government raises taxes and mandates booster seats? No wonder our unemployment rate is about 8.5%. People are giving up their cable and vacations to pay for their gas to get to the grocery store. Where does Congress expect us to get the cash to pay for such a thing? I know I have looked, but I can't find a money tree anywhere.

We need to rid ourselves of these outlandish politicians who SAY they represent us and replace all of them with average people who know and understand a stressed wallet.

Give me a break.
