    However, Conservatives accused us of waging a war on Christmas! LOL Or...at least Fox news did. But anyway, it was the Bush administration policies that was most responsible for the recession. But why would we blame Bush for the 2008 recession when he was president in 2008?? Makes no sense does it?

    Let me explain very briefly the problem with your video. it is a HALF TRUTH. if you can't grasp it, here: Bush, the right winger bailed out lots of big corporations as well. so when a guy like this is pointing to the left I do not dissagree with him, but I gain zero respect for him, because it is as though he is suggesting to vote republican, and we know it is part of the same coin. it is safe to say I am a conservative, but I have no candidate representing me, so I will most likely not be voting. and that is a shame, but don't forget - Right wingers are to blame for that.

    No politician represents you because your views are completely bat shyte insane filled with conspriacy theory and delusional and false political worldview. The very reality you live in is crippled beyond repair and no politician could eve represent your views sufficiently.

    FACT: Bush was a screw up and a recession resulted.

    FACT: Obama is a screw up, whose policies are directly stifling economic growth and hobbling what should be a boom time recovery.

    Any Questions?

    I grew up in Detroit, east Detroit specifically. I have lots of theories on how, why, and I don't think its as simple as "they gave people welfare". Yes, the culture of welfare is a large contributor but by no means the only factor.

    I see that no one has interest in understanding it, or really trying to help people so I'm not going to bother beyond saying that there are multiple factors.

    Detroit would make an awesome location for several post apocalyptic movies, i mean the opportunities are endless. From abandoned factories to wild wasteland. I'm writting myself a script and move with a camera crew to Detroit.

    Detroit was once the hub of the American car manufacturing industry. As the Japanese, and to a certain extent, the European car manufacturing industry took off, American cars lost their market share. The industry crawled to a halt in Detroit, therefore shutting plants down and laying workers off.

    How is this a "leftist" policy?

    ......but you just cant bring yourself to admit the truth.

    It is worse than that. Detroit is where it is due to white flight. The suburbs surrounding Detroit are quite nice. We have place like Detroit here in Indiana. It is called Gary and is the states 3d or 4th largest city. Same thing. Same cause. Same result.

    1. National economic depression caused by multiple factors led to the decline of big ticket sales
    2. The economy of the city of Detroit was revolved around automobiles (mostly) and Motown Records (music + tourism), when the price of cars versus quality could not match what people had come to expect of the Japanese, US autos lost value, plants began to close, the city's economy went into the toilet and their were massive layoffs
    3. Massive layoffs in a city where the jobs revolved around 1 major industry made it impossible to find another job that would pay what they were making on the lines, so they either gave up their homes and possessions or went on assistance
    4. Temporary assistance turned to long term as the 80's stall lingered
    5. Blue collar Christian and Catholic men started to become depressed because they were "Old School" and couldn't take care of their families, men turned to drink
    6. Casinos were a bridge away
    7. Rise of ghetto "culture"
    8. Institutionalized depression and ghetto mentality
    9. Good people became trapped, apathetic people could not find the hope needed to leave the (*)(*)(*)(*) city for greener pastures
    10. Without funds the schools became war zones, the kids got horrific educations, the city divides into Catholic school versus public schools and then poor blacks and whites who once worked together on the plants start turning on each other (except for Eminem)
    11. The city, once divided between rich and blue collar, becomes rich and desperately angry poor
    12. Good people with relatives who have some money or live elsewhere attempt to flee
    13. Good people who can't flee are surrounded by not so good people
    14. Detroit decays further, more depression, anger, and now illiterate education
    15. "South of 8 Mile" becomes a badge of honor...East Detroit is a war zone
    16. The lower middle income suburbs like Harper Woods, Warren, and East Pointe become ghetto-fied
    17. Houses on lakeshore can be bought for less than $300k
    18. The red dwarf is spotted

    Boom time recovery?

    Please. He and Congress got us out of the recession. But total recovery wasn't going to happen in four years, especially the partisan, childish idiocy in Congress. Most economists are predicting unemployment won't get down below 6% until 2016 or later.

    Socialism literally sprang from observing the success of capitalism, while believing that conditions for workers could be improved if the control of production were moved from capitalists to the state. A top-down control system, such as that used in large business, was the model for socialist society. Yet the true engine of capitalism, the free market, was overlooked and left out of the plan.

    but I think some was started from the begining , we as humans form villages etc , a dabble of socialism is normal

    1. For the last 50 years, the brain dead people of Detroit elected Democrats to fill almost every and any position in government.....

    ...........and like 100% of the other cities/states/countries that did the same....Detroit became an open sewer/Democrat Utopia.

    And even after becoming an open sewer.......even today, the illiterate poverty stricken crime ridden populace of Detroit continues to elect Democrats......voting for Change, but accepting HusSame.

    exactly..japan started building better cars and more economical..detroit stuck with their same piece of crap clunker cars..at one time american cars were built so well and a joy to drive, I use to have a 1964 ford galaxy that I loved..then for some reason they went down hill..also the price of gas had a lot to do with it...also the ceo's of ford , GM were republicans..if anyone expects Mitt to change things around, keep dreaming..there's no single person in the world that can..it's all BS talk..
    at least ford is back on track now..

    So the Democrats in Detroit designed the cars? They were the ones who decided that people wanted only SUVs...

    Okay, life is always that simple. I acknowledge the welfare culture, you refuse to acknowledge anything but. Glad you feel you can comment on a city without spending 18+ years of your life there.

    Democrats are the reason the US has gone from one of the most business friendly/prosperous countries in the world......to a poverty stricken crime ridden Democrat sheethole.....just like Detroit/Democrat Utopia.....

    GM sales in 2007: 9,370,000 vehicles
    Toyota sales in 2007: 9,366,418 vehicles

    GM profit/loss in 2007: -$38,730,000,000 (-$4,055 per car)
    Toyota profit in 2007: +$17,146,000,000 (+$1,874 per car)


    18 years in that Democrat Sewer.......in a sane world you would be running to vote Republican or Non-Democrat every chance you got.

    Oh please. Two of the cities on your list were Republican and about four others were unknown. Additionally, there have been plenty of examples of great Democrat leadership and (*)(*)(*)(*)ty Republican leadership, and vice versa.

    Stop being a partisan hack.

    lol wow. I see, when presented with facts that more fully explain a nuanced situation, some people just like to fall back to their same rhetoric, without even considering anything else.

    Except that.....the recession was bad enough as to take up to 10 years to fully recover. Overall, the economy has gotten a bit better since Obama has been in office, at least in terms of jobs. So quit your whining. If anything, the obstructionist ways of the GOP are stifling growth.

    Near future example will be Memphis, liberal owned, ran by blacks and sitting in the (*)(*)(*)(*)ter. High crime rate, tons of abandoned buildings, school system ran to the ground, etc. etc. . And they wonder why whites are leaving in droves lol.

    Thanks democrats for ruining another city.

    Detroit is the tip of the iceberg. Flint, MI, Camden, NJ, East Saint Louis, IL, Chester, PA, Newark, NJ, Compton, CA, Gary, IN, Baltimore, MD, Philadelphia, PA, wastelands, and this is just beginning to show the flaws. Discriminating against the taxpayer to support the criminal or lazy is a pathway towards destruction.

    There is only one solution for impoverished blacks in America. It isn't free stuff. It isn"t opportunity and it's not affirmative action. There is one solution and two choices. They can leave the U.S.A. or they can work hard in the blue collar segment. We can not and will not keep propping them up.
    It is too bad they were ever ripped from their native Africa and brought here to ultimately have to compete with a smarter race. But, facts are facts.
    No more blaming the white people. No white people alive today ever owned a slave and they have given up way too much to push blacks forward. Now, the blacks think a race war will fix everything. It won't. If they won, the country would still be a sinking ship with them at the controls. They won't win. It would only serve to eliminate every black person from the country. They would be shot, rounded up and buried in mass graves. The only real choice would be to press the government for travel vouchers to Africa and enough cash to get a small start. All the sabre rattling and group attacks on whites will only hasten their demise, so I would suggest the vouchers.
