Detroit was a wealthy city then progressive Democrats took it over and after 50+ years of uninterrupted rule Detroit is collapsing, it is billions of dollars in debt (yes, a single city is billions of dollars in debt) and the people who can leave are doing so. It has lost 60% of its population since 1950. Progressives take other peoples money, give it to those who are not productive and when they run out of other peoples money they begin to eat their own. That is the phase they are in now.
If progressivism was so damned good Detroit should be a model of progress and culture. Instead it looks like this...
Nothing at all to do with Nixon allowing Japan to product dump cars in exchange for air bases in southern Japan, or the big three designing and engineering crap cars in the 70's and 80's. Detroit was a company town, when the company failed, so did the town.
Considering the Democrats had been in power for over two decades by then the answer is no. No matter how much you try and blame the repubs for everything the facts are these. In 1932 the wealthiest two percent of this country controlled 76% of the nations wealth. Democrats took control of both houses of Congress and ruled them with an iron fist for 40 continuous years. They also controlled the Presidency for a good portion of that reign as well. The net result after all of that control was the wealthiest 1 percent now control 90% of this nations wealth.
So, dumbass... who were the Democrats working for? Because it sure as hell doesn't look like they were working for the poor and middle class now does it.
You're being 100% deceitful. You're conveniently forgetting the ideological change between Democrats and Republicans in the 60's. Making my case; The best economy EVER for the middle class was 1956 due primarily to the Union supported Republicans. Stop being such a conservative blowhard.
Total bull shit!!!

Detroit was failing much earlier than the 70s and 80s. White flight started in the late 50s and after it's disasterous riot of 1967, whites fled the city. By the mid 70s when the auto companies were producing shit, Detroit was already shit. The auto companies demise had little to do with it.
It's demise was about a lot of things mostly government incompetence...including rising crime, corrupt police department, shitty p-schools, bussing, racial problems, e-ways allowing easy access to suburbs with new homes, good schools, and no crime were whites moved to. HUD selling homes to blacks for $1 and city allowing them to fail to maintain the homes.
I know because I witnessed as it happened.
Los Angeles had the Watts riots, and today if you want a house in Watts it will set you back $250k.
When you have a Detroit, and one industry controls directly and indirectly 80% of the populations paychecks, and the industry fails, you have a Detroit.
Total bull shit!!!

You are ignorant of the history of Detroit. Are you aware it had a very nasty race riot in 1967. The auto industry was booming in 1967? Whites had been fleeing the city prior to riot in large numbers, but after riot they nearly all left. When a city loses it's tax base, it dies.Total bull shit!!!

Bullshit. It was because everyone was employed from WWII. EVERYONE had a job who wanted one. The US was the most prosperous country on the planet and we milked it for all it was worth. Then progressives got into power and have been pissing it away ever since. When it was liberal Democrats running things all was well. It's the progressive element that has fucked everything up.
