I cannot understand why we subsidize the movie industry and then ask taxpayers to ante up more money for road repairs.  There is money to be spent on roads without raising taxes on us all. Its apparent that when Michigan can pay Professor Gruber almost 1/2 million to set up a health care exchange that we did not use in the end, we are not choosing wisely with funding. Maybe the representatives in Lansing should pick up the phone and talk with a few of the retired appropriations committee members.  They know where there is fat to cut.  How about asking Dave Agema for some suggestions.  

Unfortunately a lot of our representatives don't feel the need to spend time digging for the answers.  Much easier to follow the leader and parrot their talking points once the bill is passed.  I hope that enough of the representatives say "NO".  Time to cut the fat and eliminate the pet projects.  Those of us on fixed incomes don't want to choose between gas and buying food.
