Detroit versus the entire Confederate South

[rdean]

USMB Right wingers keep bringing up one city, Detroit, as "proof" of failed liberal economic policies.

But take a look at heavily subsidized Southern Confederate States who have been following failed conservative policies for over 150 years. Thousands of failed cities with millions of uneducated people living with substandard infrastructure. Those are the states where most of the uninsured and minimum wage workers live.

And in an interesting tidbit, Detroit has become the fourth-most popular U.S. city for Chinese investors, a fact reported earlier this year by outlets such as CNN Money and Forbes. “We’re a nation that likes underdogs and comeback stories,” Bernard said. “We are an optimisic nation. We like that Detroit was once a great city, fell on hard times and is now coming off the matt.”

So what happens when Detroit comes back? What will right wingers have to point at?

Baltimore and Oregon

As usual...no facts...just bullshit. Thread = Fail. Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Richmond, Raleigh and Charlotte are among the fastest growing and vibrant cities in America.

The OP is expressing hatred and racism toward Southern whites. What else is new.

 

[gipper]

Detroit coming back...yeah right. That has been predicted for decades, but it just continues to slide into a progressive shit hole.

If you think southerns are uneducated, you might want to check out Detroiters. Many of whom are illiterate thanks to decades of progressive public schooling.

Detroit is the epitome of Democratic policies.

On the VERY slim possibility it comes back, there are many other cities available to use as an example.

Detroit won't come back until they bulldoze the whole wretched city and elect a Conservative mayor and Council.

But take a look at heavily subsidized Southern Confederate States who have been following failed conservative policies for over 150 years.

dear, the south was always poor and in fact southerners were poor even before they came to the America. And, they have not been conservative really but rather have taken tons of Federal aid since the Civil War.

conservatives can point to actual policies that Democrats implemented that contributed to the impoverishment of the cities, while the liberals cannot point to specific GOP policies that have caused the poorer states to lag behind.

The poorest states, based on per capita income, are, from first to last: Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, West Virginia, Louisiana, Montana, South Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, and North Carolina. Of these, exactly half—Arkansas, Kentucky, Montana, North Carolina, and West Virginia—have Democratic governors and three have Democratic majorities in the lower house of their legislature, so these state governments can hardly be classified as completely Republican. On the other hand, only North Carolina voted for Obama in 2008, so in that sense, these states may be leaning Republican.
