I got to drive through parts of Detroit several years ago, before it got really bad. I remember several blocks, LOTS of blocks, of boarded-up, abandoned houses. Anyone who wanted to kick in the door and bring in their wine and bedroll could do so. The concrete bridges looked like they were crumbling.

Here is my stimulus idea: If a widget costs $1.00 to be manufactured in China, how much would a widget cost if it were manufactured in Detroit? None of this UAW union labor now, just desperate people looking for a paycheck. Could we bulldoze those houses and manufacture widgets there for $2.00? Or Is this a stupid question?

Can’t be fixed so long as Democrat societal engineering remains in America. look at California. After Reagan, Democrats took control there and managed to elevate that state right down into the gutter. Poor Ahnold didn’t have a clue.
