In Year 2 of Presidential Hell, The First Thug should relocate all D.C. operations, buildings, etc. to Detroit. It seems suitably symbolic and accurate.

it should be pointed out though that Michgan’s unemployment rates have historically run high because the UAW contract provides for sub-pay to supplement UI benefits to 95% of base pay (leading to a stampede of workers to take layoffs....er, ah....13-week paid vacations)

Detroit is an absolute mess and the powers that be will not take the necessary steps to change it. But the folks fleeing the city bring their problems with them. The inner ring suburbs are going to hell and the folks with money are moving to get away.

In 1950, Detroit was the wealthiest city in America on a per capita income basis. Today, the Census Bureau reports that it is the nation's 2nd poorest major city, just "edging out" Cleveland.

I giggled, although I was disgusted at the same time.

Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.

Oh, dear...

The best thing Obama can do to fix Detroit now is convince the Russians to lob a nuke at it.

You have to be in denial to think that “liberalism” or “progressivism” actually work.

The only thing that stops this is people whom prevent it on a federal level.

I propose we get some of those new army anti-ambush vehicles prep em up a bit and make them tourist tour cars. As we drive thru some of Detroit’s more “vibrant” (lefty code speak for do not move there) some of the locals can pop some caps at the vehicle for realism’s sake. (the pistols will be 9mm so no one gets hurt)

Detroit is not “the most liberal city in America.” You could never get the population to observe the kind of environmental recycling laws they have in Toronto. The only U.S. city where they can enforce that kind of crap is Seattle.

If course, Toronto would not be able to enforce their draconian recycling laws if they couldn’t export all their garbage to Michigan.
