Every single mayor of Detroit since 1962 has been a liberal. They created an entitlement city fully controlled by government.
A student of Detroit has a higher chance of ending up in prison than graduating.

Many of the industries associated with automobiles were moved overseas or became something else due to leveraged buyouts. Foreign companies began to compete by offering more innovative products, and people bought them for that reason, even though, if you'll recall, getting parts and maintenance on them could be a nightmare.
I could go on, but I almost can't get over how inane your premise is in attacking "liberals" for the demise of the Rust Belt.

I am a Libertarian..I hate both parties equally. I think most women gravitate towards Democrat because they just transfer their daddy love to daddy government....they would trust and still love daddy government as it walks them to the edge of a pit and shoots them in the head...

Many of the industries associated with automobiles were moved overseas or became something else due to leveraged buyouts. The steel industry collapsed.*
Foreign companies began to compete by offering more innovative products, and people bought them for that reason, even though, if you'll recall, getting parts and maintenance on them could be a nightmare. Then there was NAFTA.

That's right...blame the women, Teo. It's all about the women. I did love my dad. For most of his life, he sold cars. Lots and lots of cars. But loving my dad has absolutely nothing to do with my party affiliation. I'm not happy with the Democrats either, but Republicans have gone to crazyland. And there are no other viable parties because the game is rigged to marginalize them. And your little metaphor is stupid and disgusting.

So I musta hit pretty close to a homerun ....it's ok to love and trust Daddy. Government masquerades as daddy in everything now days...just ask single women who they trust....Women like having a big mean government that will bust balls for them.

The big push was to make local elections mob rule... all representatives were at large. The idea was to curb corruption... but what it really did was separate the politician from it's immediate constituents. The net effect lead to a collusion with labor and little planning for districts.
That may sound far removed from the severe decline that began during the 60's and the race riots et all... but the boom times carried an enormous load for a long time. In some ways detroit is a look back at our country... we were the most productive country on earth... and that's provided us some insulation... but the reality of, progressive policies, running deficits and unservicable debt will eventually catch up. Raise taxes and run off the productive.
There should be a lesson here... or I'm just a racist. We're having golden goose for dinner... hope you're hungry.

My dad passed away in 1985, Teo. I have lived almost half my life without him. And you are treading on thin ice, my friend.

Yeah I better be careful. You will have your all powerful government daddy beat the snot out of me because you are an emotionally driven wreck like most of Obamas braindead zombies....Any dimwit knows I am not in any way talking about your biological daddy...but then liberals can connect school shootings with inadequate gun control so with that kind of thinking Obama's drooling women may elect him for a 3rd term.
Oh, my dad was killed in the coal mines when I was less than a year old so count your blessings..

being a libertarian isn't sitting on the fence. Its taking a stand against the "status quo".
