Detroit’s death spiral began with Coleman Young’s failed administration.
From 1974 until he left in 1994 Detroit became the quintessential liberal Democrat city. It offered nothing but high crime and low prospects and accelerated White middle class flight.
When the under skilled and overmatched Kwame Kilpatrick was carted off to prison the Motor City virtually ceased to exist. Now after 50 years of inept Democrat political hack administrations Detroit is among the worst places in live in America.
For the past three years FBI statistics have shown Detroit is the murder capital of the nation. Per capita it is more dangerous than Baghdad. Even the outgoing fired Police Chief went home to find his house ransacked by burglars. There are neighborhoods in the city so desolate “the police haven’t patrolled [them] in years.”
The situation in the city they call “Motown” is such that a huge section has been described as “30 square blocks of urban prairie.”
Detroit’s poor condition and decimation is hard to imagine.
These facts paint the picture of what 50 years of Democrats has brought
There are over 16, 000 foreclosed homes in the city, many of which have been taken over by squatters much as could be expected in the old West’s ghost towns.
In January Detroit’s unemployment hit 22.2%!
Even before the full destructive force of Barack Obama’s Marxist policies have been felt, a Detroit real estate agent reported selling a house for a single dollar. He had at least four more $1.00 homes, 1228 houses for sale at under $10,000 and 209 of them under $1,000!
The median selling price of a house in Detroit has tumbled from $66,000 to $5,800 since 2002.
Fifty years of swallowing Democrat lies has gotten Detroiters ever increasing misery. Now they must take responsibility for their votes.

Just like 75 years of communism.. only faster.
“This is what America will look like unless we stop Obama’s Marxists. “
The revolt is only a matter of time. The spark will either be the Obamaloon health or the Obamaloon Cap and Screw program.
And it won’t be pretty. The dim-bulb-crats will also have probably passed amnesty, thereby guaranteeing that none of us will accept ANY election results.
Well, the problem can be blamed squarely on the Republicans. If only taxes could have been raised even more.
They sure got it goin on, don't they.
But...but...but......Democrats are for the working man!</sarc
The median selling price of a house in Detroit has tumbled from $66,000 to $5,800 since 2002.
This pretty much says it all. No-one wants to live there!
Is “Democratic” a code word?
Cause, those of use that lived there and were forced to leave remember EXACTLY WHY we left.
Just sayin’.
Detroit need not worry, “BO” will bail them out.
Per capita it is more dangerous than Baghdad. ... There are neighborhoods in the city so desolate “the police haven’t patrolled [them] in years.”Robocop was waaaaaaaay ahead of its time. In 1987 it foresaw what Detroit would become.
I don’t think there is a bucket big enough to bail them out.
This is what America will look like unless we stop Obama's Marxists.
I can't recall the last time the GOP offered a serious conservative candidate for election in any of our major cities.
And nowadays, eerily reminiscent of the flight to the suburbs, the GOP is abandoning all of America in favor of "globalism".
So yes, unless the GOP stops electing multinational corporate lobbyists, this is what all of America will look like.
I bet the donks running Detroit are proud.
Actually I bet they wonder why the white folks all left, and didn’t just stay, and pay them money, so they could hand it out, and ...
This is true about any major US city that has had decades of uninterrupted Democrat rule.
The fact that Detroit made it to the Discovery channel show “Life after people” says plenty.
Democrats don’t bother electing multinational corporate lobbyists, they just appoint them as head of the treasury department or make them the TARP fund Czar.
Rust Belt cities turning into mini Detroit’s:
1) Buffalo
2) Syracuse
3) Utica
4) Rochester
5) Toledo
6) Akron
7) Niagara Falls
8) Flint
9) Gary
10) Cleveland
No, they are not for the working man. They are for those on the take, and who do not want to work. Their socialist agenda is free money for those who do not work.
Even if it did, such a candidate would go nowhere. Most of the people left in places like Detroit will only vote for candidates who will give them the most money. Conservatives need not apply.
Uncle Sam’s plantation in action.....:(.......the first lesson is life is always click the “D” in the voing booth.
