New York State Of Decline — When lamenting the decline of Pennsylvania — it was the second most populous state a century ago — just look north to feel a tad better.
The New York Post is reporting that 1.6 million people — about a population about the size of Philadelphia — left New York State in the last decade.
The number is balanced somewhat by New York City being a immigration magnet — U.S. Census figures actually show the Empire State gaining 400,000 people between 2000 and 2010 — but it appears they start to flee soon after arriving.
New York is ruled by “progressives.” Progressive policies equal poverty and decline.
