NBC Nightly News showed a couple from Detroit. They were BOTH retired Police Officers and said the owed more money on their house than it was worth. Guess they spent the Detail Money on vacations.

Now Obama wouldn’t turn around and put Detroit on the back of the American tax payer...would he?...Just work you dogs!

Coming soon: The Detroit Bailout Telethon

[cuban leaf]

I heard this morning that the population of detroit is 700,000 people. That means that every man, woman and child in that city currently owes, on behalf of the city, $25,715.

Which is $25,714 more than the equity many of them have in their homes, even owning them free and clear.

This will not end well.

If Romney was president right now, the liberals would be out of their skulls in anger...

From the article ...

"But the destruction proved too great. Two days ago, Orr sent a letter to the governor saying he saw no alternative to filing for Chapter 9, blaming decades of fiscal mismanagement, plummeting population, decaying infrastructure and failing services."

And of course, no mention from the presstitutes at the LA Times that Detroit hasn't had a Republican mayor in over fifty years.

They need to really think outside the box with Detroit. But they won’t. They will push government intervention, in one way or another, as a “solution” to the past 50-60 years of government intervention.

If I had my way, I would eliminate almost all laws in Detroit. Pretty much anything goes. And, yes, I would include the laws that block citizens from dealing with “problem” citizens. I would like to see extremely lenient “punishment” meted out to people who engage in cleanup.

Most people are not too bad. The bad ones are typically easy to identify. Society doesn’t need them.

The current mayor, David Bing, who was elected in 2009, began tearing down abandoned buildings as part of a revitalization effort for the city, but he lamented what he called a sense of "entitlement" among some residents who he said were unwilling to accept painful moves, such as leaving homes in abandoned neighborhoods and helping repopulate other parts of Detroit.

Hmmmm.....

And when interest rates rise to their historical average levels how many other cities will follow?

[Rusty0604]

I’ve seen reports that Obama is keeping a close watch on Detroit. Some of their city officials are demanding a federal bailout. We need to write our reps and tell them not even to think about it.

Even the Kos kids are subdued on this topic, they much prefer the distractions tossed to them like abortion and racial witch hunts and the biggie of moral superiority, gay marriage. Stepping back I can say one thing to my fellow citizens of African-American heritage, you are no longer a real priority, hope you love your tweets from the racial agitators, but they don’t spend like money.

Obama won't step in this cow pie!

Good. This one is ours to fix with Faith, Family, and free markets.

Just the first one in the road of many to come!

And it will look like an ant hill next to Mt Everest when the gravy train is cut off to places like Chicago, Philly, and others.

Detroit is a shining example of what happens when you let Rats run everything.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Have they blamed this on racism yet? Oh no, just by me mentioning racism that means...

Betcha he will. It may be disguised as a Federal guarantee of bonds, money laundered through the state, or new Federal legislation, but I bet Detroit will get Federal dollars and pick our pockets.

After pouring billions into that hellhole, the productive people will now be asked to fork over billions more to support that decaying pile of steaming manure.

Perhaps this event will make the libs and the blacks realize that they should cherish the ordinary white Americans whose taxes pay the bills.
Or not.
