UC Berkely hires delusional politicians

Henry Payne reporting from Michigan:

Granholm envisioned a transformation of Michigan from Rust Belt to "Green Belt" with massive, European-like, public investments in infrastructure and alternative energy. "In five years, you'll be blown away," she predicted in what would become her signature line.
Ironically, thousands of state jobs were blown away as Granholm's vision diverted pols' attention from much-needed reforms to the state's budget and business climate. Since her speech in 2006, the state's unemployment rate has exploded from 7.4 percent to 11.4.

This tidbit:

Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm has yet to start teaching her new Cal-Berkeley course on "state budgets, clean energy jobs, and diversifying the economy, and leadership" - but she already has a devoted student in the White House.
