“This idea of the cost of living’s gone up, especially gas prices, and we’ve seen that daily, and the income not going up. … It stifles things," he said.
High gas prices are a concern for David Rhoa. His company, Lake Michigan Mailers, spends about $10,000 a week on fuel. It's just one of many issues he grapples with as a small business owner.
“When you look at what’s going on in the state, when you look at what’s going on in Washington, is there any predictability in what’s going on? Can you predict what’s going to happen next? It affects people on Main Street because they start saying, 'You know what? I can’t plan for what’s next," he said.
Rhoa still hasn’t decided which candidate to vote for in Michigan’s February 28 Republican primary election.
That’s not the case for Colleen Bult, who is solidly supporting Rick Santorum.
But with her oldest child in college, and four more on the way, she says no candidate has the right equation about how to help them pay for it. “Do we have a plan? Trusting it, day by day, and hoping that God has a plan," she said.
Bult's immediate plan is to deal with the snow piling up on her sidewalk, something she can manage with a little help from her students.
