Liberals You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourselves For Wrecking Detroit

Ashamed? Yeah right. The commuracists (not liberals) are proud of Detroit, as it has been saved from the clutches of capitalism.

It’s all going to crash. We are all Detroit. Detroit is a window into our future.

The Fed government is borrowing almost half of every dollar it spends. When necessary the Fed prints money to keep it going. They can’t afford to stop printing money and that creates inflation - it’s a killer for everyone. The democrats lead the charge and the republicrats - in the name of bipartisanship and compassionate conservatism go along with it at a slower pace, but they still do it too.

We won’t stop spending money we don’t have and instead of sharing the pain we created with our children we are dumping the whole mess on them. Read a social security thread on this forum (a bastion of conservatism) and read the remarks - they were promised something and they are going to get it no matter what! This is why we will print/borrow our nation into oblivion. The checks will keep coming until they don’t buy a bag of groceries. What then?

We will all be Detroit soon! Most folks do not recognize that much of our nation is doing the same thing as Detroit albeit on a smaller scale. Most folks ignore that our Fed government is doing the same thing as Detroit on an unprecedented scale. A scale that will impact the purchasing power of every dollar and impact the entire world economy in ways we cannot imagine. Detroit was the maximum application of progressive policies. Detroit lost revenue and increased spending. They borrowed to make up for lost revenue until they could borrow no more. They would have printed money to maintain the lie if they were allowed. They ran industry out of their city by making industry unaffordable. Sound familiar?

“LIBERALS”wouldn’t know”SHAME”if it bit them in The A$$!They can’t even spell the word!!As far as they’re concerned,Detroit went bust because they didn’t spend enough of “Other People’s”Money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What city's next?
Chicago is well down the road to ruin.

By and large blaming liberals might be fashionable, but its far too simplistic and it isn't going to help.
Examples;

I saw a car full of little kids driving by. One back window rolls down and out comes a load of fast food trash. Cups, trays, bags all over the highway... Was it mom instructing the back seat? Or an unruly child? No body looked back that I saw.

How about this one? Actual story from a realtor who was just in training during the 'white flight'. They'd call every white homeowner and warn them, hey you don't want to be the last white person on your block do you?

Or this? Relating how many times his house had been broken into, I asked this older black gentleman if he shouldn't get himself a gun. His response was if did that he'd have to fear for his life rather than just his stuff they keep stealing.

There are huge societal problems in this town, but you know what's also interesting? Virtually no one is talking about the Zimmerman trial.

It’s a coincidence for certain that you mentioned this happening.

Some years back my wife and I were driving from Johannesburg to Durbin in South Africa and a new Mercedes flew past us on the highway full of a well-off negro family.

All the kids were waving happily at us, but after they passed a parcel of litter flew out the window. It was the bucket and assorted containers from a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet.

Perhaps it’s something in the genes.

I agree industries like automobiles and steel were able to indulge the excesses of their unions for a time. The infrastructure of their competitors had been largely bombed to rubble during WWII. When those competitors reemerged, the load of those unions made the American companies unable to compete.

The beginning of the decline started in the midfiftes with the failure of the Packard company. They didn’t have the money to move the chrome around every year and call it a “new” model like Cadillac did. One thing the public wanted was a “new” car. Another point of the beginning of the end was the rejection of the Edsel. The car buying public finally said “no”. Also the big economic pulse that came after the war was ending, and the gears of the economy were no longer meshing so smoothly. The years from 1948-58 were very good, but then what?

Then we discovered that Japan and other countries produced better cars at lower prices, and the conspiracy to defraud the American public fell apart.

But they kept running the scam until they ran out of money. This is a foreshadowing of Federal Government. I would bet that if you could take all 535 scoundrels in Washington and get an honest answer, they would tell you that they are aware that $1T deficits and ever-growing government is unsustainable and will collapse. IMO, They know it.

Return the land to farms, at least that’s something productive!
