The Washington area's affluence and education levels make it the wealthiest and most educated region in the nation, according to census data released Tuesday that reflect five years of relative prosperity compared with the rest of the country.

yea DC maybe school educated but the dumbest when it comes to common sense
The most affluent area, eh? Gee, what industry is Washington best known for that would bring about such wealth?
Then why don’t those goofballs understand basic economics or have read the Constitution?
“what industry is Washington best known for that would bring about such wealth?”
theft
Well, given how many tax dollars end up here, I understand the “wealthiest” part, but given the actons and conduct of the government and its employees, I will withhold judgement on the “most educated” part.
Which proves two things:
1) The government is corrupt
and
2) Educated fools are still fools.
Stay calm, Citizens. There is nothing to see here. Do not worry. Get back tom work, pay your taxes and shut up. Stay calm, Citizens.
Of course, you are the wealthiest. You steal the wealth created in the rest of the country at will. As for education, that obviously doesn’t equate commonsense as the DC political class has bankrupt the country.
“Most educated” in what subject, how to ruin a great country? An MBA in corruption? A PhD in lying & embezzlement?
“what industry is Washington best known for that would bring about such wealth?”
theft

score!
Stay calm, Citizens. There is nothing to see here. Do not worry. Get back to work, pay your taxes and shut up. Stay calm, Citizens.
Let me go to the judges. Judges?
Yes! We will accept "theft" as an answer.
This proves that even though you are educated, you still can’t chew gum and walk at the same time.
Huhhhh....??? Marion Barry elected, re elected, re elected, etc.....???
Too bad education and wisdom are two completely separate things. D.C. could use a lot more of the latter. Lots of educated idiots everywhere nowadays.
the Post seems oblivious to the fact that this is NOT going to help Democrats or Beltway Republicans when they run in flyover country
I still think the country could be ran better if the Senate and House were randomly selected from the phone book every 2 and 6 years.
7 of the 10 wealthiest counties in the country surround Washington DC.
Welcome to New Rome.
Gov’t employees will form the new oligarchy in what was once the U.S. (gov’t by the people, etc.).
You’ll know the economy is about to completely collapse when the beltway is converted into a wall and moat.
