I'm confused? The UCAL Berkeley has just hired on the former governor in a capacity of professor, specializing in how to stimulate and grow private industry..............

I don't get it?

From what I have found, Detroit has one employee, in the school system, for every four students. Amazing if this is true. Maybe it takes more employees to keep the ghetto in line.

It is worse...

1.) 500,000 people in Wayne County are on food stamps.
2.) Take the "People Mover" in Detroit, it will take you though what I call the Canyons of Detroit. High rise upon high rise all empty. Rumor is, they are owned by old money waiting for the city to comeback.
3.) The Mayor is offering to pay families to move to higher densed areas of the cities because some are out in areas where the city can't afford to do anything, they don't have the resources to go to a street where only a few families are living and the rest is a ghost town.
4.) The cities 3% Income Tax doesn't help....

In comparison

Hiroshima 1945

Hiroshima 2010

That we allowed our cities to be destroyed is a national embarrassment.

As a Hoosier boy I used to feel bad, when they taught us in school, that Michigan ended up with the auto industry that was largely started in Indiana. Now I’m glad Indiana stayed basically ag. based.

Detroit is finished. Everyone left and all that remains is debris.

Detroit is the future.

There are a hundred once productive, taxpaying, once world class cities, from Newark up the coast and west to Detroit and deep south to St. Louis. That whole square. 100 years of thieving Democrat and RINO profit gamers, have warped those once productive economies to their own ends via state power, political power.

Soon the leftist, tax eating, Democrat and RINO employing cancer cells of the urban areas will grow and eat up the health, remaining parts of entire states. Michigan, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts....

Cities fall, empires decay.

That’s roughly 75,000 government workers complete with blue ribbon pensions, health care, WAY too generous paid “sick”, vacation and holiday benefits, all nearly completely unsupported by the tax base of the city in which they “work”.

So, who is paying?

And on any given day, 1/3 of Detroit employees call in sick and get paid anyway. That's the way it works and that's Detroit for you. And because of the union none of them get fired, they just work the system.

Oh and almost 1/3 of all foreclosures in Detroit are due to people that cant pay property taxes, not mortgages. Anyone with a half baked brain can see why this city is in ruins.
