The economy and the deficit are likely to dominate 2012 just as they dominated the past year. Unemployment, both in Michigan and nationally, has fallen, and recent reports give us hope that the jobs recovery is accelerating. We've seen signs over the year that some of the steps we took to promote economic recovery are paying off.
