If that was the point of the article, Hank, then it could have been made with one sentence...
"Houston is doing great, Detroit is not"
...but even you, I'm sure, know that the point of the article was to find a pretend link between leaving Houston to its own devices and watching it triumph over evil, and a link between government assistance in Detroit causing it to be in trouble, and then concluding that the only difference between what happened in Houston and what happened in Detroit is that the Gubmint fukked up Detroit.
No Hank, it does not. But unless you missed the point, Sen. Cruz was suggesting a causal correlation between styles of governing and results while ignoring that any other factors or variables may have contributed to the outcome, and contributed more greatly. That is the flaw in myopic analyses.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Hank,
Retire to Houston.
Let us know how you like it.
It's not a coincidence that Houston is business-friendly AND the asshole of the US.

I'm not sucking Detroit's dick. You have some Houston jizz on your chin.
I'm staying in Washington. Not the most business-friendly state in the union, but it's not a sh!thole, either.

I don't live there, you stupid fuckhead.
And you're waaay to big a pussy to go there and let those words spew out of that cocksucker of yours. You'd get your ass beat so fast it would be comical.
And it would probably be some Shelton broad that decided to kick your pussy ass back to Bellevue.

I wasn't listening, though.
You should be used to it by now.

It always offends me when anyone says, You missed the point, it is at a minimum presumptuous, and most certainly shallow.
You rarely disappoint.

Wasn't trying to offend you Blackmouth. It's not presumptuous if Hank's subsequent post offered no clue that he understood the difference between implied causation and coincidental correlation. Shallow? This is the dark side; almost everything posted here is shallow due to brevity if nothing else.

As some of you have pulled at the strings of this argument, the argument has become like life without zinc oxide. This piece of trash also reminds me of trickle down economics, which was of course, a runaway success.
