The District of Colombia's population grew faster than any state last year according to the Census Bureau. Far faster than second place Texas and third place North Dakota despite it being an 'inner' city. Which isn't that surprising whan you remember that its principal industry is government.
So while America suffers under the worst sustained economic conditions since the Great Depression, the Washington DC area's population booms. And of course it has also become the richest city in the nation on a per capita basis.
The Nation's Capital booms while the country strangles. Funny how that works.
