*****, please. Leave the professional capitalism to the coasts and Chicago. FOX News might tell you the "heartland" is the engine of America, but that's just to distract you from your increasingly poor standard of living in the fly-overs while the coastal conservative elites (Romney, anyone?) take your votes and laugh all the way to the bank.

We could probably survive for a while without the iPad 12. A few days without out food might just kill you.

thank you!
+1 rep point for you.

I think you will lose the coast argument. California, Texas, Florida, Washington, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvannia, Virginia and New York combined agricultural output far exceeds the the midwest. The combined agricultural receipts of of the midwest largest producers, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois, and Kansas are close to the combined agricultural receipts of both California and Texas. California is in a class of its own.

Total Agricultural Receipts by State

I agree. California is a powerhouse in terms of agriculture mainly due to geographical location and the fact that it is the 2 largest mainland state, after Texas. Iowa (the 26th largest state) has nearly equal output of Texas. The Midwest alone accounts for approximately 45% (nearly half!!) of the agricultural output for the States. Kind of important.

I didn't say the coasts had no agricultural output. My problem was the poster who saw little value in the Midwest.

Can't say I disagree with you.

Good for Indy that it is growing and all, but let's be honest: it may be the second-largest city in the Midwest on paper, but as far as metro areas are concerned, it's kind of small and washes out Indy's importance.

From a metro standpoint, Chicago, Detroit, Twin Cities, St. Louis, Cleveland and even Cincinnati all have larger metro populations, have larger GDPs, and are all probably more important from an economic standpoint. Let's not pretend that just because Indy has a larger city population than Detroit, that economic impact of the Indy metro area is remotely near that of the Detroit metro area...

The chips-on-their-shoulders crowd returns. Was it not obvious that my over-the-top, swaggering post was merely a commensurate response to Broadrippleguy's absurd statement?

Uh, those states have a lot more people so they better have a larger gross
_ domestic product. Thats just common sense

For what it's worth, GDP per capita is also a lot higher.

[thefallensrvnge]

I thought Indy did well per capita?

Of course it is not a rich or important as Chicago or Detriot, but so what if it is not as influential? It still remains a large, profitable and important city in the United States. Cities like Indy represent growth in a region that is struggling.

Kid, what are you going to do if you ever decide to join the real world? Out on the street, you can't call someone a "troll," and you can't call for your big sister to bail you out of a jam.
