Republicans Own Detroit Bankruptcy

[Pop23]

Is this thread a joke? Designed to fool us Fly-Over Zone Hayseeds?

Are you people really deluded enough to blame the stench and abomination that is DETRIOT on Republications?

Have you no shame?

The Socialists/Democrats must have a deep and incurable moral disease.

For right here in this thread, with the requisite sophistical calisthenics, they propose to prove that Republication are actually responsible for Detroit--which was to be the crown jewel of The Great Society.

It took about 50 years of graft, mismanagement, conspiracy, and bloated indulgence by corrupt Democratic Public Employee Unions and corrupt Democratic politicians to wreck Detroit and turn it over to the Muslims so they can finish blowing it up.

NO BAILOUT FOR DETROIT!

No bailout, but a city wide enema might be in order

Two years into Obama's presidency, Right-wingers were saying it was now Obama's economy.

This means that two years into Rick Snyder's governorship, it is now his bankruptcy of Detroit.

The difference? Republican Rick Snyder has had a complete Republican majority in the State House and Senate, with no one to obstruct a thing.

You're a freaking idiot, Detroit was put on a path to bankruptcy more than a half century ago with no course changes in the interim, the dem machine in Detroit owns this one which includes the public employees unions. Now they will pay the price for their incompetence, this should have happened years ago.

Since Synthaholic is the only one blaming Detroit's woes on republicans so far in this thread and not a single liberal/progressive/democrat has defended his position I guess we can see who the buffoon of outright lies and half truths is.

Synthaholic must me very lonely right now.

Kwame Kilpatrick owns Detroit bankruptcy. And all the little democrat politicians that supported the growth of the city budget.

It wasnt just him.... You can blame all mayors all the way back to Young.

Because it had gone to hell in a handbasket......not going....gone. It's like trying to save the life of someone who has had their head cut off. The chances are slim to none.

What a god damn stupid thread. Did the people of Detroit want Lansing to force it's "Emergency financial managers" into it's city? Do any of the municipalities in Michigan care for the conservative's legislative maneuverings to get their private FOR PROFIT accounting fascist firms taking over these municipalities to suck dry whatever is left in them?

I don't think so.

I has nothing to do with Democratic or Republican politics.

Don't be using Michigan as a football in your Stupid Parisian political bickering games. Unless you know something about politics in Michigan, you have no right to comment on it. Tell me something about the Michigan emergency financial manager laws. Or their plans to privatize education in the State now that the elites have successfully made fascism constitutional?

Jesus, you all are so God damned blind. You have no idea what is going on in politics in the mid-west. The elites in both parties in the mid-west are working hand in glove to loot what little wealth is left of the middle class, and all you can do is treat it like it is some sort of sport for your fucking egos.

Useless. All of you. Do some research and READ about these things before you post. Detroit was a dead animal long before the emergency managers came in. The emergency managers just came in the make sure the elites could strip the carcass clean so there was nothing left for the people that helped run the city for the people.

The Scandal of Michigan's Emergency Managers

Unelected individuals are taking control of whole cities and school districts, from Flint to Benton Harbor to Detroit.

On January 20 the progressive think tank Michigan Forward and the Detroit branch of the NAACP sent a joint letter to Michigan Governor Rick Snyder expressing concern over Public Act 4, the Local Government and School District Fiscal Accountability Act. Signed into law in March 2011, it granted unprecedented new powers to the state’s emergency managers (EMs), including breaking union contracts, taking over pension systems, setting school curriculums and even dissolving or disincorporating municipalities. Under PA 4, EMs, who are appointed by the governor, can “exercise any power or authority of any officer, employee, department, board, commission or other similar entity of the local government whether elected or appointed.”

What are the qualifications for such a powerful office and the six-figure salary that accompanies it? Not much: PA 4 requires “a minimum of 5 years’ experience and demonstrable expertise in business, financial, or local or state budgetary matters.” Last year the state held a pair of two-day training sessions for EMs, both run primarily by companies that provide outsourcing services to municipalities and school districts. Yet PA 4 made the emergency manager the single most powerful person in the city.

Now I don't want to blame the emergency managers for the hard times that Detroit and other cities are experiencing, but GOVERNMENT is the problem. Whether administered from the left or the right. They all have an agenda. They need to get the F out of the way. The administrators screw the people in favor of the corporations. The city boards screw the people in favor of the city establishment. Both of them are killing growth, creativity, and ingenuity.

One republican mayor since 1957. One republican on the city council since 1970. You fail again. This is your bed. Have fun lying in this liberal shit hole.

You do realize the governor only runs the state not each individual city? He can't make the city follow sane policies.

He doesn't "realize" anything, he is a partisan hack.
