| Spoon bending*, Mike Cox style: LIVONIA, MI—Mike Cox today said Democrats’ plan to get into the banking business, grow an already bloated state government with a massive new spending program and leave families on the hook for the bank’s losses is irresponsible.
"It sounds like there's nothing to it, but that's like saying the Sistine Chapel is just paint on plaster." The proposed bank could cost hundreds of millions of dollars and leave taxpayers on the hook for bad investments and financial losses at a time when state government should shrink not grow. ...
"Execution is everything to a magician, and Geller is a master of the art." Cox renewed his call to dramatically cut government spending, slash the jobs tax called the Michigan Business tax and cut the income tax on families to turn around Michigan’s economy.
"Witnesses would claim they'd never taken their eyes off him, but videotapes would later show he'd distracted them just long enough to make whatever preparations he needed." “Government spending is out of control at the state and federal level,” said Cox. “The last thing taxpayers need right now is to pay more taxes to create more government spending on their behalf. Michigan taxpayers shouldn’t have been forced to bail out big Wall Street banks for mistakes they made and Lansing shouldn’t build a state-owned bank at taxpayers’ expense. At some point gubernatorial candidates, members of the state legislature and Congress, even members of my own Party, have to start being fiscally responsible.”
