Detroit - The Bulwark of Liberal Thought

[JD Barleycorn]

But the OP was talking about the meltdown in Detroit without a time stamp. It was you that have tried to change the OP. Like I said it goes back to at least Jimmy. I notice that you want to blame Bush, GW, not GHW. Interesting don't you think? As can be demonstrated by Hurricane Katrina, GW Bush respected the Constitution and the law. The states do for themselves until they request aid. Governor Blanco of Louisiana did not request aid for four days and the governors of Michigan did not request aid. I'm surprised that you didn't blame Governor Romney for the collapse...George Romney! The last GOP mayor of Detroit left office in 1962. Do the math.

Remind me, dimwit....who was president in 2008, and for the preceding 8 years, when the US economy went into meltdown mode? Fuck you and your stupid post.

When liberals start taking responsibility for their monumental screwups, and learn to change their ways, then we might have a chance to make this country great again. Until then, just more Detroits, fewer Democrats that pay income taxes, and therefore more people wanting to suck everything out of the Federal government they can get. Fucking leeches!

[JD Barleycorn]

I wouldn't go so far as to characterize them all as leeches. Some of them don't know any better after 50 years of government support, some of them don't have a choice, and some of them are really leeches getting what they can without trying.

Of all this threads this has got to be the most idiotic. The fall of Detroit has NOTHING WHAT DO EVER to do with liberal policies. In 1950, thanks to WWII and the demand for vehicles Detroit hit their population peak. BY 2010 the population of the city had fallen 60% due to the troubles of the auto industry. Liberal polices had nothing to do with it. Poor design and terrible quality control is to blame. When "Lee" Iacocca took over Chrysler he famously cut expenses by cutting back on design, R & D and the engineering staff. The result was some terrible cars that about killed the company. Look at all the car lines that GM terminated. Had nothing to do with liberal policies but Detroit took the hit from all those people leaving.

I really wish he was still posting so he can explain which policies lead to the population of Detroit to fall 60% between 1950 and 2010.

Probably the ones that made government grow 100% during that same time period.

They aren't broke because they have too few people. They are broke because they have too much government for the people they do have.

[JD Barleycorn]

Actually have to agree with some of what Louise wrote but he forgot that after World War II we, WE, were the only game on the planet for autos and heavy equipment. The end of the 1960s and 1970s saw the Japanese, Germans, French, and Italians becoming economic rivals.
