Economic and racial segregation is literally why the suburbs were created in the first place.
'You guys shouldn't try to segregate yourselves from poor people! You should instead learn a lesson from suburban people, who have already segregated themselves from poor people.'
Assuming you are telling the truth that gain is lost in the future. Have you factored in the increases in medical insurance over and above what would have occurred?I got a sizable increase in my take home pay, about $85 bi weekly. How about you? Say what you want about Trump, but I like having that money in my pocket vs. going into the government blackhole. Just hope our deficit doesn't go wild from this, hopefully some reductions in spending or more efficient use of money is put in place.

Poors in suburbs now exceed urban poors. What you guys excel in is concentrated poverty. You know, the kind of poverty that especially increases the chances of things like, say, riots.
Kinda funny the top 1% started working twice as hard as everyone else starting around 1979. That's when the wage gap began expanding. Wonder why the rest of us got so lazy.Yea, yea... because there are rich and very rich people others need social programs. Sure, whatever. Bottom line is those that want to achieve can and will. Those that want to blame society and leach off others will do that as well.

If we were to give that $85 to welfare recipients instead you'd be ecstatic and saying it needed to be more.
I always thought the better question to ask is "what do you want the government to do?" And then follow it up by saying, "that will cost this much per year". Arbitrary cutting seems like a poor way to decide how to set priorities.So what do you propose we cut?
And all you had to do for your $85 was accept a permanent tax increase for the rest of your life, starting about 10 years from now.
"Poors" have increased due to higher costs and stagnant wages, not helped in the least by Reagan's trickle down economics, via:

Haha, nice try. The suburban poor population is larger because the suburban population is somewhere around double the urban one.

Don’t try to play down your successful segregation. That seems like something you would be proud of anyway.
That's 185 post tax dollars a month in my pocket for doing nothing different. I'll gladly take it with a smile on my face. If you don't want any extra money that comes your way I can give you my Paypal, you can send it to me.
Exactly how poor are you? My son the fast food worker would notice that amount but I certainly wouldn't.
The chart is a percentage. My point remains that suburbanites aren't the ones formenting riots in our neighborhoods. My other point remains as well that red state folks and suburbanites shouldn't be compelled to pay taxes to protect wealthy urbanites from your neighbors. You can either feed and house them yourself or take the risk that your head will be separated from your body.
I agree! Maybe we can start with the military budget as that is by FAR the largest expenditure and has the the most removable fat on it. Right?
As for who is paying for what, cities are paying for you, not the other way around just as liberal states are generally paying for the less economically effective conservative ones. It would be nice if conservatives just said thank you instead of trying to lie about accepting welfare from liberal areas.
Maybe we should stop doing this and when their states go to even more shit they would only have themselves to blame? Oh who am i kidding, they'd still blame Hillary or Obama somehow.
And then we can tell them "pull yourselves up by your bootstraps"
Actually they were created because we wanted a higher standard of living (square footage, etc) that couldn't be achieved in cities plus a lifestyle far different than what was on offer in those urban areas. Not everyone wants to live in a Manhattan broom closet for $4k/month and dealing with urban population densities and other indignities. As backed up by the evidence we're happier too.
Urban dwellers are significantly less likely to be happy than their suburban or rural counterparts
