South Dallas looks a lot like Detroit.
Plantation Welfare Politics of the Dem Party has created this mess.
Sounds about right.
Until government is held accountable to START doing the things it should and STOP doing the things it shouldn’t, this will keep getting worse. Problem is far too much of our nation thinks that “give me free stuff” is part of the things government should do. Another problem is politicians, esp. on the left, are far more interested in securing their own money and power than in the good of the nation.
The bitter fruits of tax-and-spend-spend-spend liberalism have blossomed across the land.
PS Think I’m politicizing something that isn’t political? Go through your list and see how democrat (lib) dominated cities, counties, and states dominate your list...
Yeah. I guess it’s all hopeless. Except in States that aren’t run by f***ing liberals. Ever noticed that? Every place in serious trouble is run by liberals. Even city by city in the same county.
It would be more accurate to say that America is becoming a 3rd world country.
We’ve only just begun to degenerate. There’s a lot of humble pie that is going to need to be consumed before we can be great again.
Eliminate a welfare recipient’s cable television and see what happens...
Obama’s plan is working perfectly. But notice that NONE of the states are proposing cutting social services or ANY of the non-essential services or agencies. It is all a smoke screen that they do every year; cut essential services first to create the illusion that they are down to bare bones. But as always, the government cuts the meat first and never, ever touches the fat.
I call BS.
For instance:
“The sheriff’s department in Ashtabula County, Ohio has been slashed from 112 to 49 deputies, and there is now just one vehicle remaining to patrol all 720 square miles of the county.”
Sounds to me like they oughta lay off 48 more deupties.
>>#18 As our local communities degenerate economically, it appears that they are falling apart morally as well. There are approximately 400,00 registered sex offenders in the United States as you read this.<<
That is ignoring the fact that it takes very little to get put on that list. I’ve read plenty of articles on FR about things like a 17 year old girl sending a picture of herself nude to her 18 year old boyfriend, and when the picture is found on his phone, he becomes a registered sex offender. Or the guy that accidentally gets some kiddie prOn (it actually can happen. I’ve certainly gotten a lot of junk I didn’t want or ask for, from completely innocent searches) and when it is discovered, even a single picture, he becomes a registered sex offender.
And when everyone is a sex offender, no one is.
I’m reading Atlas Shrugged right now and it is prophetic. If you haven’t...READ IT.
>>#20 According to one recent study, approximately 21 percent of all children in the United States are living below the poverty line in 2010.<<
Another bogus stat. The poverty line in the US means that your family only owns one car and living in a home with only one bathroom and only basic cable.
Re: #1 and #23. Okay, they BOTH can’t be the 2nd most dangerous city in the US.
...because it has the same class of people running it?
Stop importing poverty. Completely change our immigration policy so that we are not importing half the third world and conditions will stabilize if not improve. Move back to a manufacturing economy instead of the madness of a service economy.
We need to let millions and millions of new immigrants into the country, and hand them welfare checks and voter registration cards as they cross the border.
That will fix the problem.
Self-ping for later.
Behold the second fall of Man.
i don’t see that number 8 is such a big deal... even in a big city like San Jose... it’s better to lay off fire fighters than those in the police force... imo...
Yep
