Reagan was absolutely Goddamn right about Liberal programs:

So they're going to solve all the problems of human misery through government and government planning. Well, now, if government planning and welfare had the answer -- and they've had almost [80] years of it -- shouldn't we expect government to read the score to us once in a while? Shouldn't they be telling us about the decline each year in the number of people needing help? The reduction in the need for public housing? But the reverse is true. Each year the need grows greater; the program grows greater.

Exactly... It's time to check the score and figure out why so many great American cities are turning into shit-holes. Of course there are a million contributing factors, but no one ever asks the obvious questions: Who the fuck's been in charge of these places? Who's policies have been at work?

Cities with the 10 highest poverty rates  in the US :
1) Detroit: (32.5%) No Republican mayor since 1961.
2) Buffalo: (29.9%) No Republican mayor since 1954.
3) Cincinnati: (27.8%) No Republican mayor since 1984.
4) Cleveland: (27.0%) No Republican mayor since 1989.
5) Miami: (26.9%) No Republican mayor... Ever.
6) St. Louis: (26.8%) No Republican mayor since 1949.
7) El Paso: (26.4%) No Republican mayor... Ever.
8) Milwaukee: (26.2%) No Republican mayor since 1908.
9) Philadelphia: (25.1%) No Republican mayor since 1952.
10) Newark: (24.2%) No Republican mayor since 1907.

Hey Liberals, exactly how long does it take for your big government programs to kick in?... You cock suckers have been running two of those cities for over 100 years (and two more have never had a single Republican mayor). What's the fucking hold up? We're only asking so we can figure out how long it's going to take Obama's Stimulus to "fix the economy."

Now, being as one of Liberalism's defining characteristics is Never taking fucking responsibility for anything... ever; let's play a little game called "Guess who Liberals are going to blame for fucking up the cities they've been running for the last million years." Personally, my money's on "Billionaire CEOs sneaking down from the mountains at night (like the Grinch) and stealing all their shit." [Although Trotsky,  Snowball, Goldstein, and Bush would also be acceptable answers.]
