Deeeeeee-troit ran out of money years ago. Smoke and mirrors and ripping off the taxpayers propped ‘em up.

"It's my understanding that April has been pushed back to May," Dillon said

If they need a new month, may I suggest calling it Thermidor, or perhaps Brumaire?

So they can last to May instead of April. This is hugh and warrants a lot of pats on the backs.

John Conyers is threatening to call in his "personal friends" Obama and Holder to prevent the emergency manager. He says the law targets minority dominated cities. Jesse Jackson has declared that "This ain't Alabama".

Here are a couple of local stories.

::::::::::::::::::

This thread must be satire :-) Since when did Mo-Town have any money to run out of?? Another fascist GM takeover and union payback needed?? Until America has a real American president again (been a while) that will reshape the Marxist destruction of our capitalist machine, (one that actually produces GOODS AND SERVICES) that does not function under government mandate and funding, will we see Mo-Town again become a center for production and profit and tax revenues.

Funny thing is that I read a story the other day where they were blaming Jerome Cavanagh (the last white mayor) who left office in 1970. LOL

“It’s my understanding that April has been pushed back to May,” Dillon said”

Oh rapture, we’ve been saved! Another whole 30 days, now that calls for a celebration. Detroit is just like the Post Office, No one wants to live there anymore, but the PE unions just want to ignore that fact. They probably don’t have the money to bulldoze the ten square miles of derelict homes so that it can be turned back into farmland. Maybe the Muzzies over in Dearborn can help out and use the land to raise halal goats or something like that!

Wrong guy, it was Coleman Young who was mayor for twenty years or so that pushed the city over the edge.

Retroactive Satire?

(What year was the last year that the place had a prayer of surviving? Didn’t they already start bulldozing to try and increase property values? Haven’t I already seen 4 and 5 bedroom homes for $1,000 there?)

TT

Coleman Young, Dennis Archer, Kwame Kilpatrick and a whole slew of city council crooks including Monica Conyers.

Chances are the residents of the city are going to end up moving to other places and terrorize the taxpayers in those cities and end up draining the areas of their resources.
