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

Corruption corruption corruption. I think this has something to do with the City council president running away last month.

No bailouts ... keep your hands off my wallet. Let the rot in the liberal cesspool that they created.

Corrupt left wing government that emerged from the racial conflict of the 1960’s punctuated by the riots of 1967.

Associated Press is partially right. Look at what happened to Detroit after the 1967 race riots--many whites fled to the Detroit suburbs, and as a result you have suburbs of Detroit that are among the richest on a per capita basis in the USA!

That white flight, plus extreme mismanagement of city finances, is why we've reached this point today, sad to say.

Here is my problem, I don’t want the citizens to get set up in our cities and bring their stupidity to us. They should have to stay there.

Will FEMA be involved, at some point in time? Just wondering, where this well-staged opus will travel...perhaps, as an introduction, of a federal purpose.

As I've said in most of these threads:
  1. Dis-incorporate Detroit.
  2. Sell off the city's assets to satisfy its bondholders and other creditors.
  3. Incorporate new and more viable communities within Wayne County from the former Detroit.

It's that easy.

On October 13, 2012, President Obama boasted to Americans in his weekly address that he refused to “let Detroit go bankrupt.”

“[W]e refused to throw in the towel and do nothing,” Obama said. “We refused to let Detroit go bankrupt, I bet on American workers, and American ingenuity and three years later that bet is paying off in a big way.”

Another failed experiment put forth by liberals, allow the race baiters to run a city when the fact is, until they are ready to look beyond the color of their own skin, they are not qualified to lead. Add the Unions controlled by DC, and it is a double whammy. Truth is, coming to a city near you.
