The morning after, now what?

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat up for reelection in 2022, this year had been touting that Michigan’s unemployment was below the national average and on a steady decline since spring 2020, when she issued stay-at-home orders to control COVID-19.

The federal government on Wednesday corrected Michigan's unemployment rate upward by 1.7 percentage points, above the U.S. average, citing an outlier in statistical modeling last winter — amid sharp job swings during the coronavirus pandemic.

The September jobless figure, now 6.3%, had been 4.6%. The October number, also newly released Wednesday, dipped to 6.1% — higher than the national rate of 4.6%.


Hard to believe that Whitmer might lie or doctor numbers for her own benefit.......

Joe Biden's bloated spending bill contains a special gift for trial lawyers

Trial lawyers, who have long invested in Biden and other Democrats, bought themselves a provision in the massive spending bill that Democrats moved through the House last week. Tucked deep within its pages is a huge tax break that slip-and-fall trial lawyers and their allies have been trying to force into law for more than a decade. It would allow them to write off the costs of contingency litigation — for example, expert witnesses — upfront. Currently, as with other business ventures, trial lawyers recoup their expenses by winning judgments and settlements that cover them, or else they write off the losses when they lose the case.

According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, this special-interest tax break will let contingency lawyers off the hook for $2.5 billion in tax revenue over 10 years.
