It's happening at the national level and it happens at the city level: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... Detroit.
We all know about the criminal capital of the United States (outside of D.C., that is, another democrat-controlled disaster of a city) called Chicago.
I remember the horror of the movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colorado... or what people in yet another democrat Olympus known as Chicago call "Thursday."
Detroit. Bankrupted by unions with their fangs buried in then jugular of the taxpayer.
Detroit. A ghetto of un-ending agony.
Detroit. Where incompetence and corruption rule the day.
And now Detroit: the largest city in the country to be taken over by the state.
This is the ultimate end for all democrat-controlled governments at all levels. When your party governs by bribe, and pay off and corruption, Detroit is inevitable.
This state has $20 billion + in unfunded pension liabilities to the democrat unions. Detroit is our future, and this Nations future if we don't cut entitlements, cut social programs... cut spending.
DETROIT |(Reuters) - Michigan Governor Rick Snyder cleared the way for a state takeover of Detroit, declaring that the birthplace of the U.S. automotive industry faces a fiscal emergency and that he has identified a top candidate to assume its management.
Friday's declaration by the Republican governor virtually assures that the state of Michigan will assume control of Detroit's books, and eventually decide whether the city should file the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
Detroit has faced the steepest population decline of any major American city in recent decades. Once the fifth largest U.S. city and springboard for music icons such as Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, it now ranks 18th in size with about 700,000 people.
"Its time to say we should stop going downhill," Snyder told a forum of residents hand-picked by his office, at a Detroit public television station. "There have been many good people who have had many plans, many attempts to turn this around. They haven't worked," he said.
A report commissioned by Snyder has described what it called "operational dysfunction" in the city government, crushing debt of $14 billion and a current fiscal year budget deficit of $100 million.More:
Unfettered, undisciplined government where pay offs are the order of the day.
Our country's future.
