When our debt-fueled prosperity ends, a lot more cities are going to end up looking just like Detroit.

I've been saying it for a while. When the money is cut off, they'll smell the smoke of Chicago all the way to Detroit.

One only needs to look at the (D) or (R) behind the mayors name to predict which cities are likely to follow suit.

And the cities we bombed out of existence such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Berlin etc look modern, beautiful, vibrant and shining! Such dichotomy!!

But then all those American cities in decline are run by democrats. Will people ever wake up and smell the coffee?

Cities such as Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Memphis, New Orleans, St. Louis and Oakland were all once places where middle class American workers thrived and raised their families. Today, all of those cities are rapidly being transformed into cesspools of filth, decay and wretchedness.

Need any more proof of What happens when Democrats are in control?

All these Cities have had D mayors and councils for as long as I can remember.

There are two key reasons for all this decay, filth, crime, etc. One: all of these places have been run by liberals (NYC has been off and on in that regard). The second......well, if I stated it here I’d probably be banned.

Citizens vote their heart with their feet...

The above cities were abandoned by society's producers - and left to the dependent...

After 47 years and $16 Trilllion dollars are the Democrats ready to admit that their “Great Society” has lost LBJ’s “War On Poverty”?

Heck NO!

They may have lost the war, destroyed our culture and murdered 60 million babies, but as LBJ predicted, they have turned the negroes into a solid democrat voting bloc.

Good article, he references some of his other works too.
California will be like Detroit within a decade.

I wonder how many of these once thriving US Cities have had Multi-Decade Democrat “Minority” Mayors, Majority “Minority” City Councils AND “Minority” Police Chiefs?

The major cities in Massachusetts are Boston, New Bedford/Fall River, Worcester, Springfield, and Lowell/Lawrence.

Except for Boston, the remaining cities are shells of their former selves: ebt-accepting convenience/lottery stores, pawn shops, check-cashing, drug-dealing, and single-mother welfare families. They’re microcosms of the future, post-apocalyptic America.

“US CITIES BECOMING CESSPOOLS OF FILTH, DECAY AND WRETCHEDNESS” - That was the Democrat plan all along. America’s big cities are the Democrat’s new plantations. See how many of the Democrat bigwigs live in the hood. I am consistently amazed that blacks vote for Democrats.

Been going on for some time. I went to work for Burroughs corp in 1967. They're world headquarters was in Detroit and I trained there. I was there in 67 when the riots broke out and I saw a man on a roof with a rifle shooting down at people. Been going on a while.

Sounds like a perfect environment for Obama’s “Embrace The Hate” campaign.
