Michigan's Roadmap to Privaztization

Michigan did not waste any time putting together a road map to privatization in the wake of the
religious adoption Bills.

With the creation of a welfaree police force, it looks as if the end of public services is coming to the great state.

Everything will be private services, meaning, there will be no oversight.

With bipartisan support, state policies are being developed to ensure the religious organizations who contract with Michigan are exempt from any scrutiny as they take over the reigns and custom design social policy as the behest of thier "contributors"..

Always remember:  "You cannot audit God"...yet.
