I guarantee you that whatever mistakes the city government in Detroit made, above and on top of socio-economic things that are hard for them to control, nobody ever said "I know, we'll create a socialist mini-state in detroit and that will fix things". That definitely didn't happen.

- jbooth 12y agoLet's say the government employed 1 person, total, and every single private employer moved out, creating a situation of 100% government employment. Would you still phrase it as "the government created a socialist state"? Whipping out the word 'socialism', in the American political discourse, typically turns it into a silly red vs blue conversation.
- talmand 12y agoI think your responses say more about you then it does valarauca1. I would have to say your trying to make too much of a simple statement.

- jbooth 12y agoI'm just saying it's silly to call the government socialist based on the gov't % of jobs growing in an otherwise shrinking economy. The government could be cutting jobs (not that Detroit's is) and still growing as a % of a shrinking-faster economy. Sorry if I stereotyped you.
