Bush Recession..his legacy......

GOOD MORNING FLINT!
BY Terry Bankert 10/31/08

2008 will go down in history as the George Bush recession.

This year has healded the fall of the National Republican Party and the repudiation of “Conservativism”.

The 2008 general election will select a president and will be the turning point where voters reject this out dated doctine as a viable paridigm of rational public policy analysis.

"The decline in our GDP didn't happen by accident," Sen. Obama said Thursday. "It is a direct result of the Bush administration's trickle-down, Wall Street-first, Main Street-last policies that John McCain has embraced for the last eight years and plans to continue for the next four."

Consumers are uncertain and are spending less, and spending first on essentials. Our country is at The front door of what may be a sever and long lasting recession.

Our only hope is for leadership change and a return of consumer confidence, and a reinvesting in America.

OBAMA SAYS of The policies of President George W. Bush, which had landed the economy in trouble. "George Bush has dug a deep hole for us and he wants to hand the shovel to John McCain,"

The economy suffered its biggest decline since 2001 in the third quarter, ushering in what may be the worst recession in a quarter century.

The Republicans are doomed. In the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, 54% of registered voters ranked the economy as their No. 1 concern, outweighing any other issue by three times or more.

Among those surveyed, 49% said the Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Barack Obama, would be better at improving the economy, compared with 28% for Sen. McCain. The voters will speak loud and clear next week.

In Flint our car wash’s are empty. It’s coneys time at Tom Z’s instead of Miller Rd. Dinning. The shopping center parking lots empty as the Dollars Stores fill up. The impact of the Bush recession is clear when you drive around town.

Our car and light truck sales are the lowest since 1993.

The news this morning was not reassuring.

“Industry figures showed cars and light trucks sold at a 12.5 million annual pace in September, the fewest since 1993. October sales may drop to an 11 million pace, according to a Deutsche Bank AG estimate.”

“The figures indicate that the steep downturn -- which may be labeled a recession later on by the group of economists that makes such calls -- probably began well before September, when carnage at financial firms spurred a freeze in lending. In coming months, as tighter borrowing terms and higher rates work through the system, employers are expected to slash jobs and consumers are likely to pare spending even more.”

UNIMAGINABLE TIME FOR THE AUTO INDUSTRY

``These are truly unimaginable times for our industry,'' Robert Nardelli, chief executive officer of Chrysler LLC, said in a statement last week. The third-largest U.S. automaker will cut 25 percent of salaried workers and reduce production.”

“Incomes after taxes and adjusted for inflation dropped at the fastest pace since comparable record began in 1947, today's GDP report also showed. The 8.7 percent decrease followed an 11.9 percent jump in the previous three months and reflected the influence of the tax rebate payments from the government's economic stimulus plan.”

What can we do?

Change the leadership in this country from President to Michigan Supreme Court to State and local officals.

Vote for the Democrats or those they endorse only.

Sweep out the conservative ideology that has economically destroyed our country. Its time for a change. P

Changes in Child Support

Changes in Child Support in Michigan. 10/26/08

My name is Terry Bankert , I have purchased the Genesee County franchise through "DumpMySpouse.". This is alternative advertising.

I hold marraige and unions for the sake of the children to be quite important. But when you make that decision to end your relationship my law firm is available to help you.

In Flint and Genesee County Michigan USA.I am a Flint Divorce Lawyer.Please allow me to share some thoughts as a Flint Divorce Attorney on the changes in the 2008 Michigan Child Support formula and its calculations.

I have been a practicing Flint Divorce Attorney since 1994.We have some changes in child support that may affect you directly. A year ago changes in the child support laws were enacted that went into effect 10/01/2008. Some of the old child support elements have been eliminated others have been changed.

Divorce Law is hard enough to understand when you are in the middle of the emotional breakup of your family.

Getting your head around issues such as child support may be too much with out help. What sets apart my law firm is that we take the time to educate you so that you now your rights and how decisions and calculation of support are made.

For instance; income determinations have been changed, exemptions have become determinations, step children and children in your home when you pay child support elsewhere are given economic credit for the sacrifices you are making.

Child care has a date certain that it will end and you get economic credit for any overnight parenting that you have with your child.There is economic justice for the non custodial parent in the amended law.

There are many Flint Attorney or Flint Family Law attorneys that can help you.

What separates my law firm is that this is our specialization, we are available and will spend the time necessary so that you understand your options.

One of the most important parts of the new law for Flint Families in divorce and confronting the issues of child support and child custody /parenting time if that there is no longer a sharp drop in the paying parents child support between 127 and 128 annual overnight.

It is now an even balances series of reductions based upon these overnight.

Under the old version of the law one additional overnight could reduce child support by 30%.

Flint Divorce Lawyers who fight for child custody , grandparents rights, and child support want a new vision on the supreme court.

Flint Attorney Terry Bankert will tell you Taylor has ruled against your middle-class families and in favor of big insurance companies and corporate special interests over 80% of the time. See the Michigan Lawyers Weekly.

Flint Famly Law Lawyers are appaled that Cliff Taylor continues to rule in favor of the big insurance companies and big money corporate special interests that have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund his political ads. [Source, National Institute on Money in State Politics]

In these times you are lucky in Flint Michigan to make minimum wage and yet Taylor at a salary of $165,000 a year is one of the highest paid judges in the nation.

He was has been called the worst judge on the Supreme Court, some say he works only part time, and in a case involving a fire that killed six children Taylor fell asleep several times during the hearing.

In addition, two of Taylor’s fellow Supreme Court Justices have called for an investigation of Taylor for misconduct and abuse of power.

Michigan deserves better! Judge Diane Marie Hathaway is running against Clifford Taylor in the November 4th election.

I interviewed her on 10/25/08 on my radio show "Know the Law "WFLT 1420 AM every Saturday at 9 AM.

In the interview I learned: Judge Hathaway has proven she is fair, tough and impartial.

As a prosecutor Diane Hathaway took on drug dealers and put hardened criminals in jail to keep our communities safe. She’s prosecuted drunk drivers, sex predators and scam artists who prey on our families.

As a Judge she’s been fair and impartial, always putting the law above special interests and those who would endanger our families.

Her opponent Cliff Taylor
Ruled for special interests over 80% of the time Changed the law to protect drunk drivers Changed the law to protect sexual predators
Upheld Michigan's "drug industry immunity"
Accused by fellow Justices of ethical violations

Judge Diane Marie Hathaway
Fair and impartial Ruled to hold drunk drivers accountable
Ruled to hold sexual predators accountable
Believes drug makers should be accountable
Record of high ethical standards

To help Hathaway to the Supreme Court Remember: Your ‘straight party’ vote is not enough. You have to do more! Make sure you "vote all the way" down to the non-partisan part of the ballot where judicial elections are located!

She also asked everybody to- Vote all the way – Vote Hathaway!
