I am thinking tactical Nukes.

Just for kicks wanted to see what the DU crowd had to say on this issue.

Here is an example:

All of our cities in distress should get a gift of funding. As well as free college, free health care, free transportation, free pensions and free housing.

The DU brain trust has spoken.

Whitey’s money kept the hellhole alive all this time.

There is zero appreciation by blacks for this but lots of hatred. They don't know, don't care or pretend to be oblivious of this simple fact. Blacks are not big producers (taxpayers) via the private sector. The largest taxes collected from blacks is from those blacks working in gov't jobs obtained via affirmative action. Any time a gov't employee pays taxes he is merely giving back some of the tax money he was paid with

[Little Ray]

No. They are bankrupt because “racist” Whites moving out. The Whites were supposed to stay and get milked for all they worth and endure whatever the blacks wanted to do them.

Unbelievable-—everything should be free.

Are they so stupid that they don’t realize that “free” means “provided by someone else”.

Morons !

“Why would a Republican be stupid enough to take the job? Oh wait, how about John McCain or Lindsey Graham?”

I’d guess that if a miraculous event took place there tomorrow Detroit would not be a “normal” city again for at least 50 years. The decay is institutionalized and built into the culture itself.

Then the hospitals will be just fine!

As the great Dr. Walter Williams put it, “In order for one person to get a thing without paying for it, another person must pay for that thing without getting it”.

This is the beginning of the drumbeat for a bailout.

When we had the ag crises in the 80’s and no one knew all the rules, the first ones through did better than the ones later when the lawyers figured things out.

Detroit is the first of many and everyone is watching.

If Obama had a city it would look like Detroit

Thanks so much for the Dr. Williams quote. That’s a keeper for me.

Good one!!!

[Wurlitzer]

Hey NY Slimes, get back to us when some black socialist or black communist country surpasses the USA in wealth, power, innovation, charity, and defense of people who will hate us afterwards.

Play the race card if you want, but the economic and crime statistics of our major cites prove black democrat control does not a prosperous city make.

Now I know some black conservatives who could do wonders if allowed to demand responsibility and civilized behavior of a cities population.

"The majority of welfare recipients are white"

You obviously swallow the "Government Reports" which lump ALL types of payments, even those which have been PREVIOUSLY PAID INTO by the recipient, as "Welfare". That's a gimmick that fools people into thinking the % of blacks on the dole is NOT realistic.

Fact is, the 15% or so of blacks recieving FOOD STAMPS ALONE, for example, is TWICE THE PERCENTAGE OF THEIR REPRESENTATION IN THE TOTAL POPULATION. In other words, more than 30% of Food Stamp Recipients are black, while they are less than 15% of the population.

Look at Public Housing Assistance, and blacks recieve more than 40% of THAT handout, again, while only being 15% of the population.

If you thin that's not indicative of what the 4th generation inner-city tribal parasites are doing "to make their own way", without Whitey footing the bill, you have issues.

[weston]

I know that a higher % of blacks are on welfare. But because there are more whites, even though the percentage of whites is smaller, in sheer numbers there are more whites getting food stamps etc than blacks. I’m just saying that when the $$ dries up many whites will be marching along with blacks. It is a shame what has happened to America.

[kearnyirish2]

“The majority of welfare recipients are white and you might be surprised to know that thousands of rural tiny towns accross a America are populated with 2nd generation welfare families.”

That was the major driver of welfare reform; the gov’t. was always willing to write off urban blacks, but when whites started cashing in their golden tickets the state realized it was unsustainable.

Obama has undone whatever progress Welfare Reform made in forcing people to be responsible for their actions; urban
blacks are as dependent as ever.

[traditional1]

" It is a shame what has happened to America."

Amen to THAT !

[kearnyirish2]

“The Whites were supposed to stay and get milked for all they worth and endure whatever the blacks wanted to do them.”

Here in NJ it is more complicated than that; the public employees that are retiring in their mid-40s (no joke - after finishing 25 years as a cop) are costing the towns so much money it is unsustainable. Former friends who are firemen lecture us about how we need fire protection for our families, then move their families a few counties away to towns where they have no paid firemen (and pay half our tax burden). These people are all white, and they more than anything else are driving businesses and the taxpayers that work for them out of NJ. The illegals are simply being moved into dying municipalities to prevent 90% vacancy rates and school closures; it is Detroit on a state-wide scale.
