A whole bunch of cities should be contemplating bankruptcy. In California alone, about a dozen major cities should be contemplating bankruptcy. Same with New Jersey and, of course Illinois.

Cali, NY, and Ill are golden.
Being bedrocks of Democrat electoral vote strategy, they are guaranteed to get bailouts.

Yup. People better enjoy laughing at Detroit and Flint because it ain’t nearly as funny when it happens closer to home.

These cities have been in this shape for a long time and past governors have kept them quietly simmering for a long time. As much as I personally dislike Rick Snyder, blowing the lid off this mess is exactly what needed to happen. It sucks for us here in Michigan but we have succeeded in keeping it mostly an instate problem and I just hope others will follow the example when it hits their neck of the woods.
