Michigan "Promise"

I would like to briefly meditate on the state's recent repeal on a trust of financial aid.

Isn't it ironic that it was called the "Michigan Promise" and now it's been dashed? They broke their promise.

My entire vision of the government as the means toward an eventual utopia is shattered. The intrinsic trust for my government that has been instilled in me since my embryonic education in kindergarten has been violated in a most profoundly disturbing way.

Our Governor said "I promise I will give you this money." Now, she snatches it back with a snarky gleam in her eye; my promised money disappears in a puff of red smoke and a choking fiscal fume.

Indian Givers.
