MTP -- Pennsylvania: Story of Red and Blue Counties only 70 miles apart.

[deanrd]

So I was watching Meet the Press and they were showing the differences in two counties only 70 miles apart in Pennsylvania:

Change in earnings 2005 to 2016

Chester........................Schuylkill
$7,722..........................$4,140

Full Time job
64%...............................41%

Voted in 2016
80% .............................56%

Own home
74% .............................61%

Live in home state
50%..............................67%

Bach Degree
50%...............................15%

Median home listing
$380k............................$75k

Income
$89k...............................$47k

2012
Romney +0.2.................Romney +13

2016
Clinton +9.5...................Trump +43

Interviewing in Chester - college degree very important

Interviewing in Schuylkill - You don't need a college degree for most jobs.

---------------

Those were the statistics put out on the show. The theme was the differences between Red and Blue, not on the coasts, but every place else.

Obvious questions are:

Which place is more dependent on Obamacare? And now with the subsidies ended by Republicans this year, which group will suffer the most from a loss of healthcare starting Jan. 1st 2019?

Which group suffers most with jobs moving overseas?

Which group benefits the most with returning jobs being automated?

Schuylkill voted for Trump by +43. Will they get what was promised?

My state is the exact opposite.
The Blue parts have all of the crime, corruption, bad schools, high unemployment and poverty.
The Red parts have the well educated people, low crime, high income, good schools and clean government.
Without the Republicans America would be a third world country.

You're assuming that the blue parts are governed entirely and only by Democrat politicians. That people voting Republican has no impact on their lives.

Pennsylvania is Philadelphia on one side and Pittsburg on the other

Alabama in between

Nonsense. That's why your kind won't post links.
Google doesn't link to delusions and lies. Unless it's Republicans putting it out there.

apparently you need spelling lessons as well as geography lessons.

BTW, it is attitudes such as yours that got Trump elected. Keep up the good work!

Interesting that the income is only 2X higher in the Democrat one, but the house value is over 4X higher.

Do Democrats like overpaying for houses?

It's the market value.
