Ping!
This list is probably remarkably similar to the 20 most democrat-run cities in America
4 from florida....thats 10 of the top twenty between us...
Probably counting illegals. Same with the Florida cities.
Damn, they left out Texas ... go figure.
The format of the ‘article’ stinks. Is there a list in text or do we have to click 20 times to see all the cities?
Funny, all but 3 or 4 are in states that voted for B0z0 the clown. His marxist policies just ain’t cutting it.
I think they do that to generate more page views for advertisers. Irritating for sure
These cities should be walled in and used as penal colonies in future America. We can put N. Korea’s camp guards to maintain control:-)
I call BS. Cleveland OH usually appears in the top 10 on most lists, but it’s totally absent here.
And no, things have not gotten better here...
I’m on a blackberry and I can’t go through the headache of checking all the cities. Can someone post the list?
Just wondering if Tallahasse is on there.
I saw a great article yesterday that compared the cities with the highest unemployment rates to years of democrat control.
Can anyone point me towards it?
I’ve been searching all morning for it...
Notice that it really is large cities......so The One hasn’t ‘created or saved’ near;y enough has he?
California is hit particularly hard. The worst areas are in the central valley where the Feds (in the shape of the EPA) are withholding water from farmers. There is a government mad drought killing what used to be the bread basket of the world and NO ONE seems to care
ditto - it’s ridiculous
McDonnell ran on “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs”! Doubt we’ll see Virginia on this list anytime soon. Woo Hoo!
