I saw this on Politico and they had a number of facts and figures on this current debate. I personally was frightened by the statistics. It’s amazing across the board what we are facing in this nation.

I live in “Junket John” Boehner’s district, and I’m stunned that it ranks as HIGH as it does.

The corrupt Gopper scum politicians have turned Ohio into North Mississippi. This never should have been; Ohio had a wonderful mix of human talent and natural resources. A lot of our human talent left, understandably, in the wake of the severe decline that can be traced back to 20 years of Gopper policies. Our Governor has a lot of work still to do to even begin to halt the decline.

I’m glad that you wrote about this. The Politico also had a piece on the health of residents within individual legislators’ districts(I actually tore it out of the paper to take home), and I was appalled by the number of Ohio Districts on in the lowest 25 districts. WOW!!! Apparently, we need to improve Ohio’s health in more than one way (economically, physically, and otherwise).

As someone who has lived a few different places the last few years, I can say that in the Interior West people do seem happier. Obviously it is tough to paint such a broad stroke, but compared to Ohio, they seem a lot happier to be where they are and living the life they are living.
