Wednesday the story broke that 47% of people living in Detroit are functionally illiterate. In what can only be a coincidence (excuse me, my sarcasm seems to have dripped onto the floor) Detroit has been historically a bastion of Democratic voting. You may remember the "Obama money" incident. Democrats thrive on voting from people who are dependent upon government support. It is in the interest of Democrats to keep people in public education so they can grow up and be a Detroiter and vote them back into office. If you are a libertarian or conservative or just generally against government welfare and a liberal calls you heartless, keep in mind that its those policies of social welfare that destroy people's lives. Or just send them a copy of Losing Ground (my blatant attempt to get Amazon.com to pay me money to advertise).
