The largest "industry" in the U.S. right now is government. France is our future, folks.
That’s EXACTLY what I thought, and I’m from the Bay Area where a cracerbox is 1.5 million.
The first thing you think about drving around DC is “Oh. So THIS is where the money goes!!”
Is anyone shocked that the Capitol thrives while the Districts suffer?
May the odds be ever in your favor.
A common problem is returning to your parked car and the key fob won’t work because all Mercedes look alike.
Back in the 90s when i was there the whole area was getting very pricey to live. The Tysons Corner area just was nuts, Sterling was expensive to live in.
government spending, with massive debt in a printed, fiat, low-interest, currency is very easy. Leftists and social engineers particularly like it.
Panem Capitol.
Lots of very nice houses.
It is no surprise.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
The FDR era Supreme Court scandal against 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty.

"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
BUMP
They will destroy America and scorch the earth before they will give them up.
This is why the results of the 2016 Presidential Election MUST be nullified.
This is what the Trump Revolution is all about.
President Trump understood this and has undertaken to free the American People from this tyranny. This is what he meant when he said: "Party's over. I'm going to clean up Washington."
And this is exactly what the endless investigations, the non-stop Media attacks, and all the other attacks on President Trump are all about.
Anti-Trumper headquarters. These people do good in any economy. What they don't want is the boat rocked.
Ping to BroJoeK and others.
Pay attention BroJoeK. This is what it's always been about.
And they all vote Left, (with a few exceptions).
Note, not democrat or republican, just left.
I grew up in and have always lived in cities, but I would rather have a few hundred acres with water on it than a mansion in some overcrowded area around DC.
Why would this surprise anyone?
A very high % of the nation’s high-functioning sociopaths are attracted to Northern Virginia and eastern Maryland.
