Utah's growth is supperficial and the crash of the economy is on the way. It is already rearing it's teeth but the Utah government is ignoring the signs. Credit and rampent credit fruad in Utah is yet to show it's real impact. Consumers are overriden with debt they can't repay and consumer fraud is encouraged by our government leaders. They are failing to look at the consumers and their high debts as well as the number of unemoloyed american citizens and the use of illegal aliens who do not support the tax base of Utah's cities and state incomes. Illegal aliens skew the numbers when counting unemployment and wages in Utah, which are the lowest in the nation and can't be considered a living wage, even by federal standards. Consumers are capped out and unable to pay debts so why isn't something being done by Utah legislators to improve the quality of life in Utah? Not for the illegal aliens, but for the american people that are law abiding citizens. Growth in Utah has been for fraud, corruption, and the lives of the large business in Utah. The worst is yet to come for Utah, and it won't be nice.

Utah Republicans are really Mike Huckabee Republicans, "conservative" on issues that aren't very important like gay marriage and abortion and moderate at best on fiscal issues.
