Did I miss there being an appropriation to bail out Detroit?
Did you read the CR the Senate passed?
The aid, which comes from existing federal spending that is being expedited, pledged and re-purposed, is designed to improve the safety and security of Detroit, which has been devastated by a rapid population decline — and corresponding loss of tax receipts.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM
Socialism Is Legal Plunder - Bastiat 1801-1850
Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. - Bastiat
Detroit. The citizens of Detroit don’t pay their taxes. Then, they complain. The media runs stories about how long it takes for police and fire units to respond. We are supposed to feel sorry for them even though they won’t pay their own taxes. So, the Democrats grab money from people who don’t live in Detroit to help out the people in Detroit who won’t pay their own taxes. And remember, Detroit gave $100,000,000 in “bonuses” to their retired city employees. If a city suffers from an earthquake, then spend some federal money to help them out. If the citizens of a city continuously elect thieves to steal for them, and then refuse to pay their own taxes, then screw them.
