Not just falling incomes, but a stupid, shortsighted, spendthrift government coupled with repressive laws, rules, and regulations and a great deal of airy-fairy nonsense.
This is the ultimate fate of liberalism run amok - a West Coast Venezuela with great beaches.
If LIEberalism works, then why aren’t the towns of Detroit, Baltimore and St. Louis boomtowns?
Everywhere LIEberals have run exclusively for 30+ years turns into a hole. They are like locusts - descend on wealth, consume it ALL, multiply, and roam until they find another host.
