[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With 7 of the 12 richest counties in the US surrounding DC, Trump should work on decentralizing this vulgar concentration of bureaucrat wealth by moving federal agencies to the middle of the country. Example: Dept. of Education to Betsy Devos's hometown of Grand Rapids, Mich. [b]That alone would lock up Michigan as a red state in 2020.

The agencies can slash bloat and wages in the process (lower cost of living in flyover country), it would be a boom for non-coastal economies, and policies would likely better reflect real America versus insulated coastal elite outlook.[/quote]

or maybe Michigan would become solidly blue, with all these highly educated, liberal leaning fed workers moving to the state.

I assume you are being sarcastic, but the sad truth is that a lot of people in depressed areas in flyover country cannot work for federal agencies not because the agencies are in DC, but because they lack the education. the USPTO has actually opened satellite offices in other areas, and thousands of trademark or patent attorneys telework from anywhere in the US already, but in order to work there you need to be a patent or trademark attorney, not an unemployed coal miner....[/quote]

If bailing out the auto industry and saving many thousands of jobs did not make it solidly blue nothing will[/quote]
