That is rural counties covered with cows, not people who as you know are in urban/suburban counties. Next R's will try to find out how they can get cows eligible to vote.
Might be over investment. In my city education ,programs are heavily funded. Students cannot read write or do math at grade level. And there is an absenteeism problem from Students and teachers. Also, everything is racism. Seems like every accusation is a confession
i will say something else. While NAFTA and Chinese MFN status gutted the manufacturing center of America, it made goods cheaper for everything. Look around you and see how much cheaper things have become relative to incomes over the last 40 years. I'm talking manufactured (in a factory) goods.
I got a great deal on a $1500 refrigerator in 2015. But it's $1500 to keep it filled up every month. That's $180,000 dollars over 10 years Whatever I saved on all the manufactured goods in my house is pretty irrelevant in the big scheme of things. Housing Food and Energy costs dwarf those savings.
Food hasn’t risen because of nafta or Chinese mfn. If anything it might have come down (a lot of our food is shipped to China to be processed)
