Pros and Cons of Five Worst Progressive Liberal Laws in the Democrat States, causing people to leave
Libertarian John Stossel considers Minneapolis the best example of “Progressive Laws.” However, next to New York, California continues to have a massive exodus because of high living costs rooted in certain policies. Chicago, where crimes continue to surge, is not far behind.
Democrat leaders also push to decriminalize prostitution and drug users. They’ve also expunged criminal records, got rid of bail, and defund or reduce the police budget to support BLM demands.
Much worse than surging crimes and prices are exploding “tent cities.”
During the pandemic, COVID restrictions by Democrat leaders have affected inflation and the supply chain to operate in full capacity.

2. Green Deal pushed by Democrats
PROS
