Heh. It's always the same.

When Buffalo was put under the control of a state financial control board, the usual lefties whined, too. But it worked. Well, I mean, these things can't do miracles.

People are still leaving the city in droves, but the budget's balanced. That's progress.

What caused this problem? Does this plan keep it from happening again? If you knowingly keep voting crooks into office, shouldn’t you suffer some kind of correction? If they take outside money, then they lose their voting privileges.

Send in the troops—establish martial law and an 8 pm curfew! Investigate all corruption, hang the worst offenders. Search every house for drugs and illegal guns. Make it safe again for kids and old folks even if the gangs must be stamped out like vermin. Control must be established by any means possible.

“just let the natives burn it down...”

Detroiters always had a uncanny ability to burn all kinds of things. My personal favorite was scouting out all of the discarded Christmas trees, standing em up in a snow bank, and,voila, let there be light.

Good plan. Suspend habeus corpus, break those doors down, suspend rule of law. Yeah, that’s it, a plan Akbar Hussein Mao-Bama would love.

Why MI taxpayers outside of Detroit should be willing to “give back” or be otherwise concerned...To quote a longtime local TV news anchor, “After all, we’re ALL Detroiters.”
