    Michigan and the same old "rehire Americans" trick

    Michigan State University has just announced that the social networking company "INgage" will hire 24 new "jobs"; both the press and the university try to tout this is as some sort of "rehire Michigan" initiative which will help reduce Michigan unemployment and bring more tech business to Michigan so that Governor Granholm can look like she is "doing something" to address the worst economic disaster Michigan has had since the Great Depression and have all sorts of self-congratulatory dinners featuring expensive foods and other tax-payer funded "entertainment". What they are not telling you is that INgage really opened up an office at MSU so that they can hire foreign students on the OPT student visa which usually amount to foreign students who work at low-wage internships and can be "body shopped" out to the local business community at next to nothing. No "high tech" jobs here, and certainly no "permanent" jobs for Michigan's hundreds of thousands of unemployed.

    "INgage Networks will open a research and development office on the MSU campus at the College of Communication Arts & Sciences and with initial plans for 24 high-tech jobs. While multiple projects are in development, several are already under way, leveraging online collaboration throughout the State to create jobs, retain workers, and ‘green’ Michigan."

    Good old "NoHome Granholm". I think the State animals should be be the weasel, and skunk, instead of the wolverine.

    I've sent "Jenny" some personall letter's letting her know exactly how I felt about the way she betrayed the taxpayers of Michigan.
    One was about the job oppritunities she was sending out to Illegals to work the farms.
