I'll ignore these facts for the purpose of this pots:
60 years ago, before liberalism took hold and metastasized, Detroit was the industrial capital
of the entire planet. After Democrats took over,
the city has been reduced to a warning of what not to do. From my post earlier this month:
Hiroshima recovered far better from a nuclear explosion than Detroit ever will from an explosion of liberalism. The place is also crime-ridden beyond description. Detroit is one of most dangerous cities on the
PLANET, alongside Baghdad and
Beirut,
as ranked by CNN last spring. It's so bad that the Detroit government is abdicating its #1 responsibility - protection of the people - to criminals,
drug dealers and the homeless.
20% of the city will be without police or fire protection. Recently, Detroit was ranked
#4 in what is called the "City Crimes Ranking Index," which includes in its calculations the performance of sports teams (go Wings!). Besides a top-4 placing in the City Crime Rankings Index, Detroit is also ranked
the most dangerous city in the country, the number 1 city in both
lack of jobs,
homicide rate, and
in job sprawl,
#2 most toxic metro area in the U.S., the most miserable city in the nation (
#6 if sports teams are taken into account), with
the worst jobless rate in the state (28.9%) and likely the nation,
dead last among the 50 largest cities for finding jobs (if you want to see a real hockey stick graph
look here), is
run with much ineptitude and
incompetence, with
a recent felon ex-mayor and a City Council that until recently was
run by a moonbat, and
still full of tax cheats after an election to replace a Council
full of tax cheats, home of t
he very worst public school district in the nation (with an obscene 1 in 4 graduation rate) and maybe in history, with
residents turning to rodents for food,
printing their own money, with a
n average home price of a mere $5,800, and with some of
the worst air in the nation.
Dead people have been receiving health benefits in the Detroit Public
School security system.
Suffices to say, Detroit is in so bad of a shape thanks to liberal Democrat hegemonic domination that it is a centerpiece for any story about what government should not do. Case in point, from Pajamas Media:
