Take a video tour of Detroit - Democratic Party Bastion.

Is Democrat a code word for poor people now?

 

We could take a tour of thousands of towns in Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, etc. Liquor store, liquor store, gun store, meth lab, trailer park. Republican Party bastions. Derp.

 

those places have always been crapholes. Detroit was once had the highest per capita income in the United States.

 

50 years ago.

 

Houston was a cool, hip place to live 50 years ago as well.

Democrats destroyed the auto industry?

 

They are kind of synonymous, poor people are foolish enough to think Democrats are looking out for them so they vote for Democrats who enact policies that keep them poor and they always keep voting for them.

At some point they become one and the same.

 

What policies are you referring to? bailing out the auto industry?

 

OP is pretty plainly using it as code for something else.

 

I'm sure those people will be first in line for the 2016 election vote.

 

Inside the Republican Bastion in the age of Trump:

 

New jobs report is an utter disaster for Kansas and Brownback



The new July jobs report released Friday is an utter disaster for Kansans and embattled Gov. Sam Brownback.

Here are the lowlights.

▪ The state lost 5,600 jobs from June to July.

▪ The unemployment rate jumped to 4.1 percent from 3.8 percent in June.

▪ Over the last year, Kansas has actually shed 4,500 jobs.

▪ The Sunflower State’s “growth” rate over that 12 months is a minus 0.3 percent — 5th worst in the nation. Only Wyoming, North Dakota, Louisiana and Oklahoma were behind Kansas.

▪ Kansas had employment of 1,395,700 in July 2016 — or a stunning 600 fewer jobs than when Brownback’s second term started way back in January 2015.

▪ Finally, Kansas is nowhere close to adding the 2,000 jobs a month that Brownback had pledged during his re-election campaign in 2014.

So Brownback's policies are not effective enough to offset commercial or industrial issues with Kansas's economy. Separately is 4.1% that bad an unemployment rate, statewide, compared to the rest of the country?

 

You should give us a tour around the US of all the liberal bastions and compare them to the conservative bastions and then tell us where you would rather hang out.

 

A 4.1% unemployment rate isn't bad.... especially in that part of the country (for comparison last I checked Illinois had close to a 7% rate). The problem is job growth (a more valuable indicator) in Kansas is in the bottom 20% and that isn't something the state is used also. Also because of serious tax cuts; the state has serious budget problems.

 

I once thought of spending the weekend shopping in Michigan ,so I drove from Ontario and the nearest decent place i could find..was in Indiana .
