Big Blue Claims Another Victim
07/19/13 at 13:13:20
 
or - Motor City Throws A Rod.

Quote:
Detroit just became the largest municipal government ever to declare bankruptcy in the United States. It wasn't a surprise - except to the unions who were trying to file last-minute court cases to shut the bankruptcy filing down. Everyone knew there were big problems with the city's finances, to put it mildly. When the corrupt Democrats who ran Detroit into the ground over the past fifty years were finally swept aside, the emergency managers installed by Governor Rick Snyder asked creditors to take a 90 percent loss on their claims. They weren't terribly interested in such a deal.

The media is frantically trying to spin away the effect Democrat Party dogma and one-party corruption had upon Detroit. You'll hear plenty of news reports about collapsing population - the city lost 25 percent of its residents over the past decade. But those people weren't abducted by alien flying saucers. You'll hear a lot about the auto industry's problems, but those problems were not primarily due to declining sales.

No, this great city died because its ruling class of politicians and union bosses spent it into oblivion. Absurdly unsustainable pension plans created a towering mountain of unsustainable liability. The city treasury was looted for the benefit of officials and their very special friends, leaving municipal services at a Third World level. Taxes were raised, driving employers away. The auto industry collapsed under the weight of Big Labor's demands. Those who raised objections were told they were foolish to worry about the city's debt, because it would always be easy to borrow more money and crank up the tax rates to cover those staggering bills.

Everyone in Detroit's power structure spent money like tomorrow would never come. Well, tomorrow is here, and the city is bankrupt. The same philosophy will destroy state governments, and then the federal government, in short order. Remember Detroit the next time you hear a left-wing hustler tell you government debt doesn't matter, except as an excuse for raising taxes.

Yea ... somehow people dont want to live in the arctic tundra either ...

Lots of northern cities were thickly populated ... and I know why ...

We invented heat a few million years before we invented A/C.

NYC, boston, Minneapolis, seattle, chicago ... these should all be frucking corn, soybean and wheat fields. Not people fit at all.
Anything North of the mason dixon line is populated because ... well, we had heat for a few millenia ... then came AC.

You cant live without AC in Dallas TX or Alabama, or GA or SC or AZ ...

So we live in arctic tundra, so we have heat, and we bear the summer cos its only 90 F.

Anyway detriot is 10 X the size of NYC. Parts of it need to be razed to the ground and turned to corn fields.

Yes and its serves as Dane's favorite whipping post ... Unions ... completely missing the whole export of jobs to canadia, mexico, china etc etc etc ...

Cool.

Actually, it's government unions but good observation. But, to the point, it was the unions that caused the "whole export of jobs to canadia, mexico, china etc etc etc ..." through greed. Once union focus became enriching the unions at the expense of all else then the writing was on the wall and just a matter of time.

Btw, Seattle is a pretty great city as are the surrounding counties and all the way up to the border.

Remember Detroit the next time you hear a left-wing hustler tell you government debt doesn't matter". Dane

But..but...don't you remember?? While Ronald Reagan tripled the national debt and George W. Bush doubled it... D!ck Cheney famously declared in 2002,  "Government deficits don't matter".

...gosh I never knew those three guys were "left-wing hustlers". Thank goodness we have politically unbiased people here to give us the real facts.

Do you think NAFTA was in response to union abuses?

It's the govn't.. the Marxists.. the lefties,..the righty's,.. the globalists...
the unions,.. the aliens,... Nafta,.. the Chinese...

...(Dope slap)...  
...it's the money...
The less a company can pay to make a product....
the less it will pay...
When will you Righty's realize,.. it's the people you've been trained to defend, that are making you slaves....
You're too busy being grateful... that it hasn't hit you... yet...

You must notice,.. that the divide between top and bottom is bigger than ever in US history...
The middle,... (be afraid,.. French word) the bourgeois... is becoming non-existent...

Hey,.. I had a shot at a Govn't retirement... but I lost it...
I do resent that I lost it... but, I don't resent those that didn't...  That would be petty...
We should all be treated as human...

The righty's have lost their collective minds. The have become a brainwashed cult believing whatever their masters in the ultra rightwing lunatic fringe corporate run media tell them to believe...no matter how ridiculous it is.

They are the 'useful tools' that have allowed the moneyed interests to achieve their controlling objectives.

A better question is asking yourself, instead of pointing fingers, lambasting with scorn, those you hold in contempt via your own close-mindedness (is it possible your perceptions is wrong?) and extend to all the right to view, and believe, things that fit their life style, instead?

Who's a tool?

We ALL are, period.

You don't believe that, then no need to extend this dialog.

Have a good day  Kiss

Row, thats the simplest & most obvious way to see it & the one that allows
tptb to continue therir march. these grand notions are born in the minds of the B/bergers, tri-laterals & such types. then it all gets blamed on something else. the goal is/was the end result. just as our schools produce exactly what tptb want. the "unintended consequences" ? those were the goals.
