Len, maybe you should consider moving. I've got friends in Michigan and they all say it pretty much sucks up there. Did you ever think about it, cut your losses, quit waiting around for the guv-ment .I worked in a machine shop years ago and it was full of out of work guys from Michigan. They were good machinists when they wanted to be. But the problem was (is) that union mental illness they brought with them. I moved on to another job and after a few years - the one plant in the area, maybe the state that had a union was closed. Does that tell you anything? My Dad was born in 1909, he lived through the Great Depression and joined the Marines at the age of 32 to go fight in WWII, he made it home with a shatterd left hand that was only partly functioning and that 1000 yard stare that was kinda creepy at times. But he wasn't one to sit and let the ship go down with him in it. He told me he lived out of hotels rooms from Florida to New York for years before he found a job that he liked. He was almost 50 when I was born and had settled down with a good job. He lived to almost see his 93 birthday before pancreatic cancer took him. He was a fighter till the end. I share this with you and everybody else with time to read it in hopes that it will inspire you and others. Times have been worse, and people have had far greater hardships.
