If the city needs a quick ten million the police could raid a few hundred drug stash houses. All the pot seized could be sold to the folks in Colorado now that pot is legal there and the proceeds plus cash seized would easily make ten million.

"I thought it was bankrupt for years."

Intellectually and morally it has been ever since Coleman Young was Mayor.

Wow! Maybe time to change the city’s name to “Mogadishu on the lake”?

Re your power 51. Yes, I do realize that communism is all about power, not prosperity. What I don’t get is why the leaders of these companies are willing to surrender their economic status for the far-away goal of power. That takes enormous dedication to the communism ideal, something beyond my understanding. After all, why would anyone be willing to give up their livelihood in the here-and-now?

I think it was the Attorney General Schuette. He is pretty good about these things. Has a pretty sharp staff.

It was a weird opening to an article and of course it was absurd. The thinking (in case it wasn't obvious) is that Detroit had had Democrat mayor after Democrat mayor. They spent lots of money year after year. They put all kinds of useless programs in place. They created a vast class of dependent people, and chased away all of the productive people.

Then the money ran out. And things got really, really ugly.

If government stops funding useless programs, stops feeding the dependency class -- what happens? Well, it ain't pretty.

Which is why (in the Rolling Stone vision) we must avoid Republican government at all costs.

I think Bill Schuette would make a fine governor.

a city has no money, so it's going to strike a deal with itself ...

A country has no money, so it strikes a deal with itself...and prints more money.

“Let us not forget Kwame Kilpatrick. Purveyor of all things shady, criminal, and downright ghetto.”

For sure, but then he had his mother Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick to serve as a role model. But let’s not forget the Cokerel’s and Martha Reeves ( from Martha and the Vandellas). And the list wouldn’t be complete without Monica Conyers ( who went to jail for 37 months for corruption) while her husband continued on as “their” congressman. There isn’t enough ink to list all the crooked black politicians in Detroit ( as well as a lot of other places).
I guess when Detroit finally goes under, they can really get back to their “roots” by building mud huts where a once proud city stood. And they can invite their muzzie “brothers” down from Deaborn, roast a dead animal and have a celebration of their success.
