*Obama Did That: Detroit*

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry but that,


1. This happened on Obama's watch, he did it.
2. Why isn't the media saddling him up on Detroit?
3. They are forgetting to do their jobs......
4. Obama is responsible.
5. Its the city he would build if he built one.

He didn't do it but it is a reflection of his political philosophy.

Actually the Detroit City Government did that to Detroit and the voters in Detroit let 'em do it, the destruction of the city has been going on for 50 years so one really can't blame President Obama (or any other President) for this one, it is after all a city not a federal entity.

i agree in part.., BUT, it started with the demoRATS controlling the city of DETROIT: A MICROCOSM OF DEMOCRAT SUCESS

For a century, Detroit has been synonymous with pride in American car manufacturing--thus the name "Motor City." But over the course of last half of that century, as Democrats solidified control over the city's coffers and education system and supported Big Labor at any cost, the glory of Motor City has been replaced by the shame of bankruptcy, illiteracy, and dependency.
Think about it--since 1962 every Mayor of Detroit has been a Democrat. And sadly, this era has been synonymous with corruption--perhaps most prominently with the mayoral stint of Kwame Kilpatrick (2002-2008), but under each of these mayors the handouts to big labor and big education have been plentiful.

Imagine if Congress enacted special laws only for the state of Michigan that:
•Dropped the minimum wage to $4.00/Hour
•Exempted employers from child labor laws
•Expanded the work week
•Reduced health and work place safety laws
•Banned unions
•Allowed Michigan exporters full, duty-free access to the rest of the states

Sounds crazy, huh?

This is what NAFTA did for Mexico, to the detriment of all of America, and the reason Detroit has shut down.

Why would any company manufacture in the U.S. now when it can produce next-door in Mexico with all these unfair advantages?

Mexico now ships more cars to us than we ship to the rest of the world–and where did Mexico get an auto industry?

This has been a long time coming, can't lay it at the feet of Obama or any other President. It has far more to do with the municipal and county government.

But Cheesey doen't care about reality...
