The damage done in these areas by democratic controlled cities, counties, and states, along with the teacher's union, are going to have a horrific impact on practically every aspect of American lives in these cities. Crime rates will definitely soar and there certainly won't be enough qualified employees even for more menial jobs. This of course will lead to even more employers pulling out of these troubled states. It's a downward spiral and liberals are just watching it happen instead of admitting they need to make some policy changes.
Keep in mind the NYC school system has around 70% of the students who are minorities. So just how badly will they be affected? Not having good reading, writing, and arithmetic skills, can be devasting for their futures.
I find it interesting that when it's all said and done, democrats hurt the very people they say they're fighting for more so than anything republicans have ever done. It's sad that so many people don't see this truth.
