Former Michigan Gov. Granholm: GOP Refuses to Compromise on Fiscal Issues

[ShockediSay]

...Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm blames the Republican Party - in both Minnesota and in Washington - for taking such a hard line on spending cuts, seemingly at the expense of all else.

All the cost cutting in the world is not going to revive the state or national economy or increase revenues says Granholm, who dealt with her own state government shutdown in 2007. "All of that slashing" Michigan did during her tenure "did not translate into economic growth," she recalls. "In fact, it exacerbated the problem."

Granholm says it's time the GOP negotiate in good faith. "Many in the current GOP think that 'compromise' is a dirty word. Compromise is how you get things done," says Granholm. "It's the exact same argument that's being played out on the federal level."

1. Too bad she can't run for president some day.

2. Why can't she?

I believe she was a good governor for a very crippled state in Michigan. Her intelligence and morals are readily apparent while listening to her speak. So, why can't she run for president some day?
