(I think he might of got the quote from Lou Holtz.)This person actually lived according to the quote. Whenever working with him he always even in his older years continued to work not talk about work. I never had to go find him because he was always on the job.That is one thing that would go a long way toward improveing our states ecomoney talk when necessary but go back to work we can do it. If you asked my children about my favorite quote to them they would all tell you it was.( Can't died in the poor house right along with couldn't) Lets talk but also lets work.

Our Governor and our Legislature have enjoyed bigger salaries, and bigger budgets, while telling the citizens we have to "make sacrifices". I'll tell you what I am prepared to sacrifice, calling myself a Michigander. As a small business owner I can honestly say that if we manage to stay open, pay down the building, we will be leaving Michigan within the next decade. I'm sick of it. Our state leaders continue to fund themselves, and their unions, at the expense of the rest of us. They have sent a message, "we don't want you...leave".
