"Yeah. Detroit. It's the Republicans' fault."

They fled the city. Who is John Galt?

I’ve visited Detroit as well as Third World cities in Africa,Asia and South America.I can tell Detroit from the others only because some of the signs there are in English.

The outcome of the implementation of policies of the liberal faith have proven to fail every. single. time.
Finally, French millenials are seeing the errors of those policies.

Hopefully America and Britain and the rest of civilization won't wait too long but I'm not convinced.

It’s like a robber putting the gun to his own head and threatening to shoot if you don’t give him all your money. From their perspective, it’s worked before, so why not?

Sounds as if city council members are upset that they’re not getting their cut of the fee to me. Might not be “legal” because staff legal counsel didn’t draw up the contract, lol?

They’re fighting about something over which they honestly have no control. All they’ve got on their side is guilt and fear of rioting, but the wheels just fell off the guilt wagon so the threat starts to look like what it’s been all along, blackmail.

The “media” is next. The state controlled “media” is having a hard time staying afloat now. Wait until ObamaCare kicks in. LOL!

Yes, it's always been a mystery to me that the media remains liberal despite their certain knowledge that liberalism breeds problems with attaining and maintaining economic prosperity. And they must know that a declining economy will affect their sales of newspapers, cable TV fees, and advertising income. Yet they continue to support liberals in politics. Go figure. Makes no sense to me.

Ok. What are the effects of bankruptcy?

No schools, no garbage collection, no police protection, no fire protection?

So basically, nothing changes.

The great symbiotic relationship between the unions and city government has proven to be a failure.

here is what Detroit looks like after deacdes of democrat/socialist/union control. It's a third world hell hole if ever there was one. Go ahead and get lost in that neighborhood. Hopefully your affairs are in order.
