What's made up in particular, nitwit?

Crime rates went down in Dem cities too. It was the economy, stupid.

Specifically the Clinton economy. Crime rates will climb again with the next GOP induced recession.

Take your jumper cables and apply them to your numb-nuts.


Skeptics believe that it was the economic boom of the 1990s - a "carrot" that encourages people to remain on the straight-and-narrow - that brought about the drop in crime rates in New York City and the nation. The national unemployment rate declined 25 percent between 1990 and 1999, and by 39 percent in the city between 1992 and 1999. T

his study shows that a single percentage point decline in the jobless rate decreases burglary by 2.2 percent and motor vehicle theft by 1.8 percent. Increases in the real minimum wage also significantly reduce robberies and murders: 3.4 to 3.7 percent fewer robberies with a 10 percent increase in the minimum wage and 6.3 to 6.9 percent fewer murders.
