I lived in Madison through the 60s when the “progressives” elbowed into the city council and imported poor families with loads of Fatherless children from the deep south to seed the town to justify their instant welfare programs.

Madison went from a wonderful place to live to the shit hole it has become, aided and abetted by the radicalization of the University of Wisconsin.

I have no desire to ever visit that cess pool of liberal failure ever again. To quote one of my favorite electrical engineering maxims, “sometimes, the only solution to a bad design is a decent burial”!

Madison was apparently the blueprint used for Dubuque, IA ("Madison on the Mississippi"), but DBQ opted for families with loads of Illinois drug dealers.

Part of my father’s family lived in Madison for many years.
My cousin, after a divorce, became a single mom with four young children. She received AFC money (American Families with Children) and other benefits. She also worked off the books and had a lower middle class lifestyle. In the 1960’s Wisconsin had some of the largest AFC payments in the country. People from Minnesota moved there.
