I’m not in Detroit either but I don’t sit here and snipe at them.
Here in Michigan conservative tea partiers are actually working on solutions and presenting them to all parties in Detroit.
And Cocaine Larry Kudlow would be one of the biggest cheerleaders.
Is Detroit really that important to the country that it needs outside help? Today’s businesses and populations are mobile, and it would seem that allowing much of it to return to forest and farm land would not be that great a loss.
“Here in Michigan conservative tea partiers are actually working on solutions and presenting them to all parties in Detroit.”
Well, I’m a Tea Party member (you didn’t state that you are a TP member, are you?). Guess, my question is do you “really” believe that all parties in Detroit will listen to conservative solutions - much less act upon them? If yes, then I have say that you are the consummate epitome of the definition of an optimist! Good luck and good speed :)
The loss has already occurred.
There is no need for Deetroit.
When GM moves to Birmingham, it will be all over
Michigan should sell Detroit to China. Then the Chinese could make it a theme park, fly their people in and show them the evils of capitalism.
Forget the politics for a moment, at a spiritual level yes.
Imagine this, Beck can get 1.4 million on the Mall to Protest Obama.
How about 1.4 million Conservative Volunteers show up in mass with their Chain Saws, Bobcat's, Braun and Hard-Hats to disassemble the 70,000 vacant homes...
We could do it in a week, if not less.
Talk about building a bridge to the Black Community their. How many of our Conservative friends would make friends their and extend their stay to help out even more...
The positive vortex that would be is hard to imagine....
Why not lease out the port and the lakefront for a really lot of money? Then, split what’s left of Detroit into three or four separate towns. With more close local control of police, government and schools, some areas will become liveable and attract a population which thrives off the economic boom from the waterfront.
I consider that a waste of time and resources. The city and the people are beyond redemption.
It is better to start a new, from scratch, in a different location.
Yes they are...
Like State Senator Pat Colbeck's Free-Market Alternative to the Obamacare State Exchanges with an HSA policy combined with a Concierge service as it's core idea..
It has been shared with EM Orr, and the Police and Fire Unions....
Then it won't happen.
". . . Detroit could morph itself into a technology/education/medical-research complex . . . "
Areas that are "technology" focused almost all, if not all, end up with "progressives" running the government because "progressives" make up the majority of the "technologists" in spite of their often pretending to be libertarian.
Most education in this country is a democrat fascist brainwashing and recruiting machine that soaks up taxpayer money like a sponge in return for spewing anti-Christ, anti-American, anti-Freedom, propaganda. "Education" is nothing but another arm of the democrat fascist media machine with recruiters in the mix. The hard sciences are an exception but that won't be true much longer.
The health care sector has been driven into horrible shape by a combination of government regulation and MBA driven "profit center" thinking and has been at the mercy of the government and government run programs for quite a while. BarryCare is just the last step in the destructive process that's been going on for fifty years.
The whole "post industrial society" is a scam. Technology is a force multiplier for an industrial society, not a replacement for an industrial society.
JMHO
Meanwhile here in reality....
We have two choices. We accept the democrat “fix” or we come up with solutions of our own.
If we can stop it, and Canada continues to Fubar their system, Detroit and SE Michigan will continue to thrive as Canadians come here as their blow off valve and often pay cash to get fixed what Canadian-Commie-Care won't do.
BarryCare will destroy what is an Import Money maker for Michigan....
After it is completely abandoned, it would make a great movie set for all the post-Armageddon Sci Fi movies.
I thought the title said “A Hemp Growth Plan...”
Given the recent direction of the country with respect to marijuana laws, that could actually be a viable strategy...
That’s OK I’m not a racist. I want them to share the load.
So, democrat crooks steal the city into bandruptcy. Then all taxes are done away with. I assume cities doing well, like Houston, would have to fit the bill. Somebody’s gotta’ pay the cops and street sweepers. Just another way of saying “spread the wealth around”.
