You need to read between the lines of the shitty American press (which is why you are here).
"As West booms, study appeals for aid; Says US must help five-state region" by Ashley Powers, Los Angeles Times | July 21, 2008
LAS VEGAS - As outlying sagebrush was quickly devoured by starter homes and chain stores, Las Vegas began grappling with the kinds of problems that long have vexed California: Crowded classrooms. Packed freeways. Not enough water. Immigrants who struggle to learn English. Rising poverty.
Similar issues recently have bedeviled the Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Albuquerque metropolitan areas.
While a booming population is turning the inter-mountain West into an economic force and political battleground, a Brookings Institution report released yesterday suggests that, without help from the federal government, its major cities are headed for trouble.
WTF? Where they gonna get the $$$?
They have already poured it all into occupations, bank bailouts, and Israel!!!!
The five-state region, which the study dubbed the "New American Heartland," was the least-developed part of the country in 1950. There isn't even an interstate linking Las Vegas and Phoenix because they were mere blips when the nation's highway system was mapped out.
In addition, the report said, the arid region is growing thirstier - and climate change could further scorch it.
I should sit down one day and just see how many "news" items that shitty little lie makes it into the paper on a given day.
They never tire of pushing the hot fart mist of global warming, do they?
Its middle class is dwindling more quickly than in other regions, and its cities must cope with about 1 million undocumented immigrants, half of them in Arizona.
Racist Brookings?
Solutions, according to the nonpartisan think-tank, lie in the Western states working more closely with Washington on transportation, water, energy, and immigration.
--MORE--"
I'd expect those globalist pukes to suggest just that, wouldn't you?
