You talk in jest, but now actually would not be a bad time to move to Detroit. The real estate market in Detroit has been hot, people are moving in, and is going to fuel the economy and create jobs.

They still have problems but dismiss Detroit all you want; they have a much brighter future than most red area.

Do you know who is a big fan of EPI???

None other than the Teflon Don. Studies by EPI is often cited in his campaign speeches. If EPI is a liberal think tank then you right-wingers have a bigger problem on your hands considering one of its biggest fans is in the White House.

Below is a published speech by Trump, look in the citation and count how many times he cited EPI.

Declaring American Economic Independence - Donald Trump

The EPI is a non-partisan institute.

Hardly. Every headline on their front page gushes liberal values.

I would like to see how each states fiscal situation is. Is that available anywhere ?

I've been applying to jobs in Minnesota. I live in Georgia. If I get offered in job in Minnesota, I will happily move.

Actually, Alaska is the rape capital of America. Anchorage is #1 in the USA for rape.

Pretty much everyone leaves this state for Chicago or Minneapolis after graduating.

Long story short, since 2010 MN adopted progressive economic policies while WI went the other direction with very conservative right-wing policies. Both states are very close to each other with similar climate and demographic; it couldn't be any better set for a showdown between liberals and conservatives' economic race. So who is better at job growth, employment, wage growth, and quality of life? If you've been paying attention, the answer will not surprise you - the liberals.
