Shocker!
Between 1983 and 2013, the northeast lost so many people to more economically friendly states that their representation in the House has dropped 40% in that time.
40%!
As bad as that statistic is, the population drain likely increased the power of the big government politicians, since all the intelligent and ambitious - those that would favor free markets and less government control - have packed up and left. This leaves the lazy, the dependent and those that lack gumption, who naturally vote for the politicians who promise them free chit.
The Detroitization of a whole region proceeds.
