The American Suburbia is identified as the main battleground for the 2010 elections. The GOP strategists feel they have a chance to steal the heart of the folks living in metropolitan areas but outside central cities.
There are few factors that make the recession hit the suburban voters pretty hard. The census migration analysis shows that the suburban residents are less likely to move comparing to the central city crowd that is generally younger and with lower home ownership rates. So in time of recession when the mobility is often the key to finding a job the suburban voters are suffering.
The Census data consistently shows that college graduates tend to live in suburban counties. And though education improves your chances to find a good job it does nothing when the good jobs are not abundantly available.
There is a concern about growing college education bubble. In the last decade the number of Americans with college degrees climbed 34 percent. With on-line education and government aid readily available there is a possibility in the near future of imbalance between supply and demand for high education degree jobs. The trend may explain why in recession the suburban voters are more likely to move abroad than move to the neighboring town.

The left has always hated the suburban demographic despite their statements to the contrary. They view them as too white, driving too much, using too much energy and living in houses too big for the satisfaction of the Overlords in the New World Order.
Friend of mine is moving to Costa Rica. For a fraction of the price of here, he has many acres and even his own runway for his plane. Don’t know if I would leave the U.S. but it feels like I’m in a sinking ship alright.
The core of the democrat/Obama strategy is to utterly crush suburbia.
They have been highly successful.
If your college education is not in engineering, sciencs, medical, or something else that requires deep knowledge of “technical” stuff, it is pretty much a waste of money these days.

In my case, I just bought a 13 acre farm and new home in central rural Kentucky for less than one years wages. It is in line with my tag line.
I love watching that House Hunters International show where many Americans are moving down there and other parts of the Caribbean etc.
Fascinates me in particular what they do....they just have businesses they can pack up and move. Pretty amazing.
we watch that too, and that is always my question to my wife. What do they do for a living???
I know. I’m always wondering if I can do that...lol. How nice that would be to just have a job you could just live anywhere.
