Meanwhile - in Detroit
There is a lesson to be learned there.
Certain policies just DO NOT work...
On his blog, Doug Powers writes about Detroit and closes with:
"As with most liberal grand plans, somebody else gets stuck paying for their failed schemes. But, to paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, at some point there will be a rude awakening, because eventually they’ll run out of other people’s money. The number of people who have fled the city really struck me late last summer. We went to a Tigers game, and some surrounding areas where previously you might have been afraid to make a wrong turn and get lost were nearly completely abandoned — neighborhoods turned crack dens turned ghost towns. Detroit is like 'The Day After' except instead of a nuke the weapon is progressive politics run amok."
