Not looking good for the Man from Chicago.
To understand what is going to happen to America’s health care delivery system, we must first understand what has happened to Detroit.
Lew Rockwell – Detroit is dying. Yes, I know that there are lots of books on “The Death of. . . .” That word sells books. But Detroit really is dying. It is the first metropolis in the United States to be facing extinction. We have never seen anything like this in American history. It is happening under our noses, but the media refuse to discuss it. To do so would be politically incorrect. Two factors tell us that Detroit is dying. The first is the departure of 900,000 people – over half the city’s population – since 1950. It peaked at 1.8 million in 1950. It is down to about 900,000 today.
In 1994, the median sales price of a house in Detroit was about $41,000. The housing bubble pushed it up to about $98,000 in 2003. In March 2009, the price was $13,600. Today, the price is $7,000.

Sarah Palin gave the keynote speech at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville on February 6, 2009.

You can see another version of the video and also read the transcript of the speech HERE.
