“Would you be prouder if we just dumped it on the rest of the taxpayers of the country?”
I reread your multiple posts and can’t figure out why you responded to me with this. My comment was that it was good for Orr to get rid of the schools chief but I was sorry he didn’t do the same the the City Council.
I don’t know where you got the idea that I wanted anything dumped on anyone. I am a life-long resident of CA, and I want this state to go under; the sooner the better. Any Fed bailout would negate what needs to be done here, and I say that despite the fact that CA going under might well cause me to go under as well. I take it you are from Michigan. Same goes there, Michigan needs to clean up Detroit w/o outside “help” too.
Frankly, I see lots of cities here that may well have to go through bankruptcy. They all thought that they could deny financial gravity, but they couldn’t. There may be riots, but my guess is that it will be the PE unions not the poor, because the rich and the poor have the same enemy, the union PE.
It was the emergency manager for the schools who fired the school board members because he got the authority to do so on Wednesday, Orr doesn’t have that same authority over city council members.
