Factoid.... since Obama took office he has created more food stamp recipients then jobs

um,CUDA, here's a clue for you: the President does not create either food stamp recipients OR jobs. The economy does, and a President inherits an economic trajectory, and without a massive government intervention, cannot do much to reverse that trajectory. Thus, Obama came in as a collapse was underway, has been President as that collapse bottomed out, and has presided over the cyclical recovery. At every step along the way, the GOP, for the simple reason of attempting to win elections, has put up roadblocks to commonly accepted governmental means to grow the economy. Thems the facts, and blaming Obama for any of the economic woes has utterly no basis in reality.

The president, his congress and senate, the first two years of his term created/maintained/allowed the conditions for our current economic/fiscal condition and continue to do the same today. On the "massive government intervention" thingy? There's a "small chink" in that plan.

Note the sentence in the link above..."Buyers seem to be purchasing purely as investment, and don’t plan on moving to Detroit anytime soon." Detroit? Will be a perpetual ghetto and a "landmark" for Democrat Progressives.

By the way? Who is responsible for the demise of Detroit?
I believe it's the folks who don't think, talk and act like you.

thanks for the compliment(although I suspect it was more a lack of proofreading on your part), but I believe it was a city that was built upon and thus, dependant upon an industry which became a victim of global competition. You, Pud, and I, both know a time when 'Detroit' was a synonym for auto production.
Long gone times, those.......

A victim of global competition, lol. You're "Living a life of illusion...", to quote a drunken idiot from the seventies, who has since sobered up. When will you sober up Slick? Free from external social stimulus, I don't think there's hope for you.

attaboy,Barfly!! Another one, quick to personally attack me, but coming up a bit small on facts.

Just following your lead dude... you don't like it, change your rhetoric. Point made.

Since when have you presented any facts?

You can't.
You won't.
You're incapable.

What Barfly said, so accurately.

you want me to provide facts to show that Detroit dramatically lost market share from 1980 to the present? Seriously? You all don't get out much, huh?
And, you are aware that the loss was to international car makers, right? Look, I'm not making some sort of radical claim here, merely an obvious observation. Much as has happened with a few smaller cities and towns, Detroit was a city of over 2 million built, economically, upon one industry: automotive manufacturing. When Ford, GM and Chrysler lost market share, and AMC and other smaller firms died out altogether, massive numbers of middle-class jobs were lost. Over 2/3 of the population left the city, and, in doing so, destroyed the tax base which any city, state or whatever needs to provide even basic services to it's population. Were management decisions for the city made that were ill-advised? Sure. But anyone who thinks some political philosophy, or some ideal of a social safety net is what dragged Detroit into insolvency is simply uninformed.
