While the entire world is watching China manipulate its currency, divest it's American debt, openly ditch the Reserve Note to trade with the Yuan, further hoard REM for it's energy future, the Nerd (nice tie for the ChiComs, a-hole. Return to being a pig for us in Michigan) is busy setting up groveling Discera-ish welcoming centers in conjunction with Billy Jr and his ChiCom Mustang transmission shipments through the Halifax Port for that damn non-agreement agreement NAFTA Bridge, which OBTW, is seeking waivers from the Buy American Act.  Gee, tough luck goonion turds... watch the ChiComs bump you to the wayside 'cause the DRIC is in the Canadians control.  ROR

Like it or not, the wheels are coming off the Nerdmobile: check The Dashboard.  Do you see this 9.4% mentioned anywhere?  Nope.  But, Michigan's unemployment has been rising since May.

Nine states reported statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate changes in August, of which seven were increases and two were decreases. The significant increases occurred in Connecticut (+0.5 percentage point), Michigan (+0.4 point), New Hampshire and Vermont (+0.3 point each), and Iowa, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania (+0.2 point each). Hawaii and Utah registered the only significant declines over the month (-0.2 percentage point each).

The more important point is that since Snydholm has taken his Oath of Office in 2011, Michigan's labor force has contracted by 16,000+.  Fact.

And, I don't even want to get started on this part of Snydholm's steaming pile:

Additional agreements were reached, including the University of Michigan and China FAW Group Corp. signing a Strategic Framework and Master Research Agreement to enter into a five-year research relationship. It will provide opportunities for increased educational engagement at the university and increased FAW Group operations in the state of Michigan.

Niiiiice.  Our tax dollars, along with only God knows what else, is being funneled into the ChiComs pockets through Moscow on the Huron.  When it gets down to it... The Nerd isn't all that much different than Clinton when it comes to exposure with China.
