YOU'RE in denial.

I did. I have no reason to not believe the experts:http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/25/us...anted=all&_r=0
There's nothing to be in denial about. Everything I said is true. Blacks have better opportunities in the South currently due to cost. They have been priced out of the North.

This is irrelevant to the topic, as usual. You don't ever comply with the discussion.. you are too busy pointing the finger at Democrats.

Then why are the most educated Blacks fleeing? They'd be the ones most likely to be able to afford the higher costs of living in blue states.

It is also a fact that the actual quote is "in search of better opportunities," NOT "in search of lower costs."

I didn't point the finger. I relayed info reported by the U.S. Census, the NY Times, a liberal think tank demographer, and Walter Russell Mead, the James Clarke Chace Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities at Bard College who is a Democrat and voted for Obama. They're pointing the finger at Dems.

I love it when the Republicans compare running an entire country to running a household on $30K.

Yes - because immigration issues just began when Obama was elected. Give me a break. It's like a broken record ~ over and over and over and over and over . .

Amen! And I love the 'choosing retirement' phrase. Like most older folks don't get kicked out on their hind ends - which is what I see. I've paid into this system for 35 years. I hope to be a 'taker' one day.

YES

Government deficits are not necessarily bad. Government is not a business and should not be run like a business.

Sounds like the hood or the ghetto. Liberal bastions.

Don't forget the "disabled" (who appear to be able to do everything but work) collecting Social Security disability and then, two years later, Medicare. Yet the PTB are still blaming seniors who've worked all their lives for SS's and Medicare's looming "insolvency."
