Anyone who imagines Liberals will learn from this is wrong. One would have thought they learned from the collapse of communism. But no. Compared to that, Detroit is just a bump in the road.
Liberalism is based on feelings and fantasy, which gets in the way of learning from your mistakes. In the end, they will just blame it on evil reactionary forces and racism.
I agree completely with you that liberals will not learn from this. As a matter of fact they expect everyone else to make the same mistakes
Democrats have stood by idly as the hope and prosperity of the citizens of Detroit has been slowly but steadily destroyed from within. Election after election, the same mold of bureaucrats survived while the city itself died. But now and only now do the alarm bells sound, and only because the bureaucrats have run out of other people's money.
If Detroit still had creditors left that were willing to extend it more loans, this story wouldn't be on the front page. And the decay of the citizens would continue unabated with zero empathy from the ruling Democrat class.
