It seems like the best way to demonstrate conservatism, American principles, capitaism, free markets and freedom would be to employ those in areas where liberalism has destroyed.
Demonstrate, lead, show, rebuild. I think actions and results mean much more to people than empty speeches from washed up politicians. (Not Palin, but other GOP members such as Mccain and Jeb Bush and so many others.)
I think letting it rot is the complete wrong attitude to have. It is failure, negative, and teaches nothing.
Canada is dumping big money into Detroit because they need it. They’re spending some $5 billion to build a new bridge across the Detroit river. Also a Canadian company has reopened the salt mines under Detroit.
