“Are vital U.S. interests more imperiled by what happens in Iraq where were have 50,000 troops, or Afghanistan where we have 100,000, or South Korea where we have 28,000 -- or by what is happening on our border with Mexico?...What does it profit America if we save Anbar and lose Arizona?”

Detroit is the natural conclusion of liberal policies.
In other words where the whole of the nation will be in 20 years if we follow the left...

An economy based on an unsustainable industry is... unsustainable.Originally Posted by tsquare
First they came for the mimes, and I did not speak out, because I was a mime.
Vice President
An economy based on ever higher taxation of an ever smaller group is unsustainable.
Secretary of Defense
Its freaking scary... that used to be the BEST place to live just 30-40 years ago.

Interesting you mention that. As it happens, the leading "industry" in America is rapidly becoming "Government".

The fact that you put "industry" in quotation marks sort of highlights the fundamental vacuousness of your point.

WTF??? What an asinine and ignorant statement.
The main reason automakers are hurting is because of ridiculously lavish union benefits and pay.

“We should never be more vigilant than at the moment a new dogma is being installed. … The left has been swept along, entranced by the allure of weather as revolutionary agent, naïvely conceiving of global warming as a crisis that will force radical social changes on capitalism.”

That's not what I was addressing. The idea that it was somehow, magically, the 'best' place to live 30 years ago is absurd, given the actual history of the place.
Kindly try and refrain from dodging what you actually said.

Except, of course, that that's not the main reason whatsoever.
What is it with the utter historical ignorance around here?

It seems, none the less, that you got my point.
Tell me, where can I find a city, county , town, any kid of community where a majority reliance on government has proved to be beneficial to that community over the long run?

The fact that you cannot show evidence for any other cause of Detroit's fall shows the fundamental vacuousness of your point.
Detroit: A Microcosm of Liberal Policy | RightReborn.com
"The city is crumbling thanks to 35 years of unchecked liberal rule. In 1950, a mass exodus began and since then the city’s population has dwindled by one million. The trend of bad to worse accelerated with the 20 year reign of Mayor Coleman Young who took office in 1974.
Young, who has been eloquently described as “Reverend Jeremiah Wright with real power,” was a complete disaster as mayor. He antagonized the suburbanites and neglected the police department. Government services were sub-par or totally absent and crime and taxes had soared through the sky.
These problems have since lingered like a night of over-consumption. According to the findings of Michigan State University, Detroit public high schools graduate just a fraction of their students, one out of three. Alarming, yet when a philanthropist wished to fund 15 new charter high schools, Detroit area teachers staged a walk-out. The teachers had the support of convicted felon and former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Liberal policies have had negative implications extending well beyond education. In a WorldNetDaily Exclusive Commentary piece entitled Detroit’s Demise is the Triumph of Liberalism, author Ellis Washington elaborates, further illustrating the miserable failures that have scarred Detroit for over four decades:
Because of liberalism alone, Detroit has languished in despair for over 40 years – Detroit is often the murder capital of America; 50 percent of Detroiters are functionally illiterate; only 22 percent of entering high school freshman actually graduate from the Detroit Public Schools. And if you’re an African-American male, you have 73 percent unemployment in your 20s if you drop out of school and a 60 percent chance of going to jail. Seventy percent of all black births in America are outside of wedlock. Black women are 6 percent of the population, yet have over one-third (36 percent) of all abortions in America."
Notice how some of this predates the fall of the auto industry in Detroit. Also notice how a lot of this is related to public policy, not the decline of the auto industry.

Enlighten all of us on the history we are ignorant of.
