This (city) is what 40 years of Liberal policy has wrought (Minnesota, ideologies)

Nice try but some of the best colleges in the US are also in the south and other red states. What you have offered is no excuse for states spending more then they take in from their citizens.
Maybe the Blue states need to adjust some of their wages of all their intellectual types so they don't go broke. It's not very intellectual to go broke and rely on the federal govt.
Are you saying there are better schools in Michigan then Texas ? I don't think so.
No ... I am saying that Blue states in general have a higher cost of living than Red states, and therefore will result in people having higher credit as well.
This is a tough one: states with liberal policies vs. those states' rights to have those policies without federal intervention (and, notice that it's rarely a conservative federal government that tells the state governments that they cannot implement liberal policies within their own borders).
socialist labor unions and their incompetence brought detroit down. lack of economic planning and diversifying only made things worse.
detroit is a classic example of why it is important to diversify your economy and not let one company have too much of a stranglehold.
Diversify like the suburbs of Grand Rapids, MI, did?---a Republican run area that has a closed up GM factory and a closed up Steelcase office furniture plant. That diversification really worked well for the area. Steelcase, by the way, was huge and non-unionized.

Just for the record, most blue states contritute more to federal taxes than they get in return. Most red states get significantly more in federal resources than they pay in to the system.
I also don't understand why people focus on Detroit for liberal policies, when you also have some of the most thriving areas in the country that are guided by liberalism: Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, New York, Boston, Ann Arbor, Madison, Austin, etc...
I'm not saying either political ideology is the answer, but let's at least be honest when creating hit-job videos of this nature.

What does that have to do with liberal policies that are bankrupting those states and driving away business and individuals?
Um, Sanrene, what does that have to do with the policies of our previous administration that spent tens of millions a day in the middle east? Some of which undoubtedly found its way to the Taliban and other people we are fighting?. In the long term, we are paying for the seeds of our own demise. It's the craziest thing I've seen--my country investing money to people that eventually attack us.
