Lessons from Detroit

Although little is heard of LBJ’s model cities program (aka,  Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966)  the fruit of that program is very visible in Detroit. Detroit is a city where government policy was allowed to run rampant. This video on Detroit does an excellent job of showing the fruit of big government and government interference in local economies.  It shows what government did to a city with the blessings of the people who continued electing officials who were bent on the give-away mentality and believed in trusting the federal government for more. Now apply that to the government takeover of the financial industry and the health care industry (once again, due in large part to ACORN and those who elected the traitors who are selling out America).

If it was not heart breaking to see a city in ruins, there is more. If you are one of those who asked, “What else could go wrong?” Detroit has also answered that question. Now that the city is in ruins, Mohammedeans have filled the vacuum and are now calling for a separate Islamic State. This is not a call for a new nation, but rather they want the combination of Mohammedean laws and federal funds.

Liberty for Texas and the South!

    Whilst it is true that the government had a part in the decline of Detroit, the major contribution to the wreck can be put squarely on the shoulder of its citizens. There are dozens of towns in the US where the principal employer left, the towns went through some hard times, pulled up their socks, survived and prospered. To get the answer, one should look at the citizens remaining and see if there is any common denominator that might have resulted in the failure.
