Detroit goes belly up

No city in America should go broke, I mean after all it is supposed to be The United States of America, now it's just America. A damn shame for sure.

But, but, but, this can't be possible. Unfunded liabilities are just figments of Conservatives' imaginations, they don't really mean anything. Unless, they're not and this is what happens when you can't endlessly print and/or borrow money to postpone the inevitable. Coming soon to a Federal government near you.

How do you blame this on Republicans when the mayor of Detroit has been democrat going back something like 30 years?

He's pulling your leg. lol You knew that!

I saw on the news tonight they said Detroit is in trouble because some many people left the city and it fucked up the tax base.
Where did they move to or were they shot?

There was an old post in about Detroit in Rollie.
Bullets flying everywhere outside an ambulance.
Killing people for being "too white".
Burning the city on Halloween each year.

Come on!! Self rule says that every city will possibly go broke. Just not at the same time.

Some think the tip of the ice berg. And iceberg called Amercian Doom, I imagine. But that won't happen.

The County is were self rule actually begins. Cities come an go and then come back according the resource
mangement ONLY.

This settlement will knife the public worker unions. That is a good thing.
 
As a business we used to deliver all the milk and juice that the City of Detroit used for their weeklong end of summer vaccination for school push. They ordered and received 6,000 pints of milk and juice then never paid-ever.

Obama has come out and stated that if he had a son he would look like Travon.

He has now come out and said that means Travon could be him.

He also said that if Travon Martin had been white the verdict would have been different. (how insulting for him to call all of the Jurors on the case racists)

If it isnt about race, why couldnt Zimmerman be him also?

Oh wait....

Here it is in a nutshell. King Coleman hired a ton of people when he became mayor, a ton. That was about 28 years ago, they are now retiring. There are two lessons here for other governments, the Detroit News warns: First, "debt does matter," even though Washington seems desperate to pretend it doesn't. Second, the city "lost focus on its core mission, which should have been providing essential services to residents. … A government that focuses on serving its taxpayers first is less likely to lose its tax base." "We should never blame the victims," writes Rochelle Riley at the Detroit Free Press, but retired city employees "have spent years counting on Detroit city officials to forever keep promises" that they clearly couldn't. The pension crisis—retirees outnumber current workers 21,000 to 9,700—has been "a financial tsunami that began heading for Detroit years ago. Yet not a word from retirees. Where were y'all?"
Daniel Hannan at the Telegraph notes the striking similarity between Detroit and Ayn Rand's fictional dystopia Starnesville. And in real life, as in Atlas Shrugged, the culprit was "leftist administrations" that have "spent too much and borrowed too much, driving away business and becoming a tool of the government unions."
