Every claim of modern liberalism, every single one, becomes the complete opposite when everything is said and done.
If liberal policies worked in the real world as well as they work in seminars and speeches, cities such as Detroit and Chicago and Washington, DC would be cities with world-class K-12 education, would have affordable housing in good physical condition, low crime rates as the social policies of liberalism squeezed out criminal tendencies, and would have perpetual balanced budgets as the public money was spent wisely.
The middle class people who have fled such cities would be flocking back if these cities had responded well to liberal policies and liberal leadership.
Why are conservatives held to high standards regarding whether conservative policies have worked to solve the problems as intended, but liberal policies are never held to any standard regarding whether they have solved the problems they seek to solve? Why aren’t liberals held accountable for the terrible social problems and education problems in some of our big cities, when their policies were supposed to solve those problems? Do any liberals ever admit that their policies have not worked out as planned?
