Eh, its been better than any of our neighbors, that is for sure. I think the State of Michigan is in Foreclosure.

 

Well Michigan has the unique case of "collapse of their biggest industry by far" and was in decline for a while before everything else went to s***, IIRC.

  • .....we could do a stimulus at the federal level where the federal government spends money....

  • What are you even talking about? The Federal debt did blow up under Obama?  EDIT: Before you respond with your partisan stuff, it blew up under Bush too and will continue to blow up under Trump.

Indiana is directly dependent on that same industry, both for the automotive parts and for steel.

As wholly and completely as Michigan was?

In a lot the northern cities, yes. Most Places in NWI and NEI are totally one industry towns dependent on factories making parts, making components, or making steel. NCI is totally built on the RV, mobile, and modular home industries, which also totally collapsed in the last few years.

He's laughing at the young people since they have to pay student loans nowadays since the country used to care about people getting an education.

It's clearly not what he's saying, he's trying to go back to the "They go to a $30k a year school so they're not poor!" point.

Oh, he's making fun of the handful of DePaul kids, not addressing the actual underlying concerns of large-and-growing wealth and income inequalities, disappearing economic mobility and a failing support structure for modern finance/shareholder capitalism.

Isn't Indiana still struggling pretty bad, even after selling their souls to their corporate masters?

Is that a friendly mod warning a fellow forums poster request to stop bad posting?

Nothing Mod or Admin about it, sorry if that wasn't clear. Purely a poster who has seen a gag grow old, tired, stale, dead, fetid, putrid and finally undead. Please, for all of us, stop the pain.

Interesting. Looks like the crowd broke through a barrier. Saw some pretty bad police tactics in there too though.

 

I was at the Chicago protest today. Talked with the protesters. We discussed how much I hate the bailout entitlement class. They were impressed.
