*****America Becoming A Third World Country***** | Market Skeptics (http://www.marketskeptics.com/2011/05/america-becoming-a-third-world-country.html - broken link)
Police in outlying suburabs just taking reports now not much in arresting.
Teachers being layed off, Classes have 60 students
As you read the articles down the page it looks like the gangs are taking over as things get worse.
All the more reason for law abiding citizens to arm themselves. Can't keep relying on the government to protect you. Especially since it is not the police's duty to protect you from crime
The U.S. cares more about foreign wars dealing with other peoples' safety than our own education and safety back here at home. Not sure on police officers, but teachers are being let go all over the country in huge numbers. We need to get our priorities straight ASAP otherwise this country is going to be a big steaming pile in a few generations.

You realize Detroit spends around $11,200 per student per year and the national average is around $9,700, right?
Why shouldn't Detroit lay off teachers? Their population is down 25% in the past decade....
It's not our involvement in foreign wars that has brought Detroit to this point, it's the liberal socialists.
In the long ago past, Detroit grew large because of it's location and manufacturing.
Without manufacturing, Detroit has lost it's reason to exist as a large city. Without manufacturing, it's just like any other small or medium city along Lake Huron.

Oh please, break down those costs. See exactly how much goes to "administrative" details. Cut down on the administrative side, not the teachers. Way too many bosses of bosses. That's the best explanation of why you see such high numbers per student spending. So the population is down, why make classes larger? That doesn't make much sense.
F'ed up priorities and folks just wanting to place blame rather than take charge will lead to nothing.

I only know about the cost per year per student in Detroit, but since you are so authoritative on this subject could you please post the breakdown statistics to back up your wild assertions?
If you read all the way down there are multiple articles on different cities in different states having the same problems and crime.
