So who has the "unsustainable" model? Is Detroit a "red" or "blue" economic model? How about Stockton, California? Or New York City and their bailouts of the 1970s?

How are those union contracts working out in Chicago, Detroit, and across California, where taxpayers see higher taxation and lower service levels as pension obligations eat ever larger portions of government budgets?

It would be if the ignorant liberal fools from blue states stopped moving into more conservative states.

Its better where people aren’t dumb enough to buy into idiotic redstate bluestate BS.

I can say that Idaho is much better than California. Idaho has a balanced budget requirement, so the state doesn’t go hog wild on spending like in California.

Sure, the (Democrat, let’s be clear) mayor of Boise wants to build a choo-choo downtown, but that’s nothing compared to what Moonbeam is doing with the High-Speed Rail (turns money into nothing at high speed).

Just another typical call for government to step in and intervene in order to make things “fair”.

For blue state urbanites who toil in low-paying retail, food preparation and service jobs, for the journeyman tradespeople who once formed the heart of the middle class, for teachers, civil servants, students and young families, the American dream of homeownership — or even an affordable rental apartment — is increasingly out of reach.

At least Mr. Florida (how ironic) is honest by stating the above.
