The city has a free market future that doesn't rely on the big 3. One big advantage is the fact that private companies can compete with the city to provide services.

I wouldn’t look for it to get any better as long as they elect Democrats to run it.

Democrats want big government, big labor and the way they get it is by kissing big crony corporate a$$. Detroit is one of many cities that are reaping the rewards of democratic party politics.

The parasites got greedy and killed the golden goose.

In the 1960’s Detroit had by far the highest household income, home ownership, automobile ownership, personal wealth and income of any city in the world. Then the liberal democrats took over and tried to steal the results of other people's hard work. The Democrats encouraged the criminals and the thieves and ruined everything. Then they declared themselves victims and demanded more free handouts.

Won’t read Barone’s articles. He is the quintessential RINO.

The Motor City shows that the era of big government, big labor, and big business is long gone.

Its not gone. It was moved to Red China.

For a time, Big Unit America seemed to work splendidly. The Big Three automakers, with some cooperation from the United Auto Workers and at the behest of big government, made Detroit “the arsenal of democracy.” Arthur Herman tells the story in his most recent book, Freedom’s Forge.
While Detroit is certainly important in Freedom”s Forge, the book is actually about the national effort to produce for the British war effort and simultaneously prepare for American direct participation in WWII. The effort to help Britain before Pearl Harbor is the explanation for the fact that the US military was so ill-equipped in December, 1941 - and the effort to lay the groundwork for all-out production which had gone on concurrently and was essentially complete at that time explains why US production of war materiel was far greater than any other country’s. That effort included taking the New Deal boot at least partially off of the neck of American corporations, which is the real reason that the Depression ended. I found the book to be fascinating.
