If you think Paul Krugman's "we need an alien invasion to stimulate the economy" desperation was silly, hold on to your antennae. Multi-million-dollar propaganda group ThinkProgress (created to oppose both activities) is actually claiming Michigan has a healthier economy than Texas.
Their logic, if you can follow this, is if State A LOSES 1,000,000 jobs and 1,000,001 people leave, and State B CREATES 1,000,000 jobs and 1,000,001 people move there looking for them, State A's economy is healthier than State B's because State A has positive job-to-labor force growth and State B has negative job-to-labor-force growth.
