Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Detroit are monetarily non-sovereign. The United States is monetarily sovereign. Learn the difference. The United States cannot "tax and spend."

What about SF, Seattle, Boston, NYC, San Diego, Denver, etc? The bay area is one of the most productive and innovative areas in the world.

........... New York City has the largest black population in the United States. New York City has more blacks then quite a few U.S. states.

California is light on blacks because we didn't migrate out there like we did the Northeast.

What? Where do you suppose the 3.9 Trillion dollars of federal spending comes from? Hello? Where do those dollars come from? Let me repeat this slowly...Every dollar that the government spends is a dollar that has been taken out of our economy. It is very simple, not complicated at all.
Think of it like this. A business owner's wife/Office manager, spend extravagantly on decorating offices , plush furniture, expensive vehicles, personal perks ,trips etc... Every dime is money taken out of the business and therefore not being spent on GROWING THE BUSINESS!

Of course outsourcing and deflation isnt the same, the net result is lower costs, which isnt necessarily bad for the consumer under any circumstances

no no no, government spending either stimulates or it doesnt. One could argue by how much it stimulates but if your going to argue its a stimulus then stick by the theory. After all, the GDP does include government spending for a reason, they dont break it out by what its spent on..

Which means you repair them because they need repaired, not for some imaginary argument that you need to do so in order to stimulate.

Completely different discussion to argue they need repaired because they need repaired than arguing they need repaired to stimulate the economy.

The left has argued, we should be spending trillions on infrastructure because we need to stimulate the economy. If thats your argument then stick by it, dont back peddle..

Because government spending come out of GDP. For instance the ACA. Companies will respond to it by cutting the bottom line. That is labor which makes up huge cost and easiest to cut.To remain competitive they must just as those who export will need to make cuts to do same. Then of course automation versus human labor is only a matter of which is more cost effective in the end. More people seek work with less skills will be replaced; just as crews with shovels were replaced by backhole with one guy operating it.

Guessing it was because of less factories compared to the North East during the industrial age.
