DETROIT (AP) -- Detroit has become the largest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy.

State-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr on Thursday asked a federal judge permission to place the city into Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection.

AP blames "steep population and tax base falls", without mentioning the runaway Democrat spending, and incredible Democrat corruption. Simply amazing....

To resurrect the old standard

Still Bush’s fault

Wonder what the city retirees think about their pensions NOW! Buh-bye!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Obama will deed the city to SEIU.

problem solved.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Helen Keller could have seen that coming.

[Doctor 2Brains]

Uh, no. YOU will be paying those pensions. Guaranteed. So will I, of course.

Our problems with Detroit are simple. Just cede the entire city to Canada.

But then our problems we will then have with Canada....

Not so simple.

[Responsibility2nd]

Uh, no. YOU will be paying those pensions. Guaranteed. So will I, of course.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But I don’t live in Detroit, or even Michigan. So I have nothing to worry about.

Right?

Oh , I thought it was because all the white folks left

I read Orr’s report, and it does a good job of listing the city’s problems. However, in a bankruptcy filing, everything, and mean everything...all the shady deals, the corrupt contracts..will come out in the open..

Heard on Fox news radio, no mention of Democrat but they mention corruption.

This is our future if the Repubs continue to cave and become liberal light.

[Wanderer99]

because all white teenage waitresses share the guilt of the white race and by extension, guilt for Trayvon's death.

Leftists are stupid ********

[Pure Country]

Could we send Chicago to Canada also? Most would pay big bucks to get rid of the Windy City. Blow them away!

[VanDeKoik]

Detroit has hit the "We Be Broke" button, finally.

[ken5050]

Obama: "If I had a city, it would look like Detroit!"

[ken5050]

I can hear the Black Caucus now: “You bailed out GM and Chrysler, but you won’t bail out Detroit?”

[tcrlaf]

A great triumph for liberalism, running out of Other People’s Money to spend.

The Democrat inability to “make it RAIN!” in Detroit will, of course, be blamed on Global Warming and Whitey.

well done to years of Democrat corruption and misappropriation along with union chokeholding and all helped by a useless idiot in the WH.

Congratulations Obama on another record....biggest collapse in history of a US city.

The 67 Riots were the start of the big out exodus but political corruption drove business out which is what really drove people away. However hitting bottom is proving to be good for those looking to invest in rebuilding.
