A Postcard from Michigan’s middle class
The last stop for Mitt Romney's bus tour is his home state of Michigan. But don't expect a happy homecoming: In addition to arguing that we should "let Detroit go bankrupt," the policies that Romney is proposing would cut student aid for 337,000 students and jobs for 9,900 teachers. And 510,000 Michigan families would see their taxes go up by an average of $900.
