Metro Detroit is a fairly healthy and prosperous region. It isn't really poorer or more decayed than other regions. The difference is that the city center, which is a small part of the overall metropolitan area, is severely decayed in parts.
It's still good for the metro because it lost population at the last census.

2000 - 2011 Texas supplied 52% of the new jobs in the country. Low taxes are blamed.

Well, what's your excuse for 2012?

Washington 0.8% growth?

Well good. Good, good, excellent actually. Great news. Slow that place down in its tracks. It shouldn't have been booming the way it was in the first place, I loathe that industry. Stealing from Americans then building bridges and train tracks with that money. I hope they never boom again the way they did the last 6 years.

They have the nerve to take $400B from my state in our federal taxes and then come fishing for our companies to lure them to Washington with tax breaks they fueled with the tax money they collected from us. Hope it slows down even more, 0.3% sounds more reasonable for Washington.

Is that percentage stat for the larger CSA or the smaller MSA? Good news no matter what, but MSA or CSA measurements could change the stats quite a bit.

DC on the left, begging on its knees. US tax payers on the right, giving alms. Somewhere in this conjuncture that's not depicted in the picture DC figured out that it can just take by force instead of begging.

Americans that pay taxes have every right to hate DC's industry, our government, and frankly DC itself because of what it stands for.

You can cry about it all you very well want. Its not going to stop me nor millions of other Americans from exposing your overgrown welfare dispositioned town. You're stealing from Americans, bloating your industry and your control on the US, interfering in foreign affairs, to keep those living there hungho! about DC giving you a fat paycheck undeserving from what we give DC, and worst of all taking money from us and using that money to go fishing for our companies.

The saying goes, beggars cant be choosers, and DC is unqualified to defend itself from scrutiny.
