Loading ...I’m in NY, Long Island, south shore. Its been pretty much the same here. Its an out migration state. Taxes too high. Most go south or west. Where do they get the money they need? Float bonds and taxes. We have the highest taxes and electric bills in the country.
I’m not positive for NY state. NYC might be the next Detroit in the future. And Detroit may have seen its worse days, and get better in the future. Wall Street and too much gov’t taxes, versus Detroit who’s smoke stack industries might be growing.
These days I’m positive on the USA as a whole. I think the country hit bottom in 2009. Back in the 1970s I was negative on the USA as a whole. I think the country as a whole was all peaked out by 1970. Everything went down hill after that.
The USA developed a lot of “body rot” since 1970 here and there like an old car. I think a restoration has started out of necessity. No more fake artificial boom ideas left available for the globalists to keep us artificially alive, on life support. More reality showing up.
What you described regarding the past, are some of the things they did to over ride the losses of importing more than we export. Even that Cholesterol story earlier is part of making us cannibal ourselves. Lower “normal” numbers to net more revenue.
Even the DWI numbers were lowered to .08 to net more jobs and revenue. And don’t get me started with the cars and the ‘check engine’ lite and all air pollution laws costing us money for nothing really needed. Same as welfare.
