Republicans Own Detroit Bankruptcy

[zeke]

damn, here I used to visit aunts and uncles in Detroit and they were living just fine. They worked for Ford and GM. (surprise eh)

You folks celebrating the fall of Detroit, you think the lost auto jobs MIGHT have had anything to do with the decline.

Or is it that the Mayors sent out welfare checks to the general population? (which btw is 100% black)
That's right, no more white people in Detroit. They all got jobs in Mexico.

The lost jobs in the auto industry was not the only thing that happened. It was a combination of many things.
If they had encouraged more businesses to move to the area and not let the unions run the city, then when the auto industry went south there would have been plenty of other jobs for the people. Putting your eggs in one basket is never a good idea.

No one is celebrating the fall of Detroit. Nor any other City that has had to file bankruptcy.
Most of us are saddened, that all of the beautiful old buildings have gone to ruins. Were are also saddened that many of the people had to burn their homes down to get Insurance money for them to get out of there.

Detroit is not 100% Black. Mostly Black but not 100% Black.
Whites - 10.42 %
Blacks - 81.84%

So, what was that combination?

And when you build a city based on manufacturing, what other industries that pay as well and generate as much city income tax as those fine paying UAW jobs should the city have brought in? You think a guy that worked the production line for 20 years is going to find work in a insurance office? Become a realtor?

And wouldn't it be the "other" companies decision as to whether they wanted to do business in Detroit? You ever been to Detroit in the winter?

I lived in a city that was built on auto manufacturing and precision machining. Those jobs are mostly gone and they will never be replaced by other jobs that pay as well or offered as much opportunity.

Just the way it is in America today. Accept the lower standard of living we have brought about and quit trying to find someone to blame.

We all are to blame.

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

You do realize the President runs the federal government and not each individual state, right? He can't keep Republican governors from increasing unemployment, yet you keep blaming Obama for the high unemployment rate.

did Obama run on a jobs platform, yes or no?

did he spend money taken from state's citizens without results?

You're so pathetic.

 

[Pop23]

Fat head Ed Schultz today was trying to blame the fall of Detroit on the Republicans...
The republicans haven't had anyone in Detroit government in more then 50 years....

What a joke this guy is.

Silly Rozman, let the libs have their wittle fantisy's. Now the adults will have the chance to clean up their mess and make Detroit a great city again.

We really should be thanking them for showing they can't lead

OP- not to mention Pub cuts to federal spending on states and localities- part of 5 years of mindless obstruction against Obama. I'm sure the 1 1/2-2% of growth ruined by the debt ceiling "crisis" and sequester (Boehner-"I got 98% of what I wanted") didn't help either....Stupid a-holes and their silly racist hater dupes...

how is race part of the discussion?

Using that "Logic" Demtroit is Obama's Failure

Synth,
Federal Government is different from Sate Governments.
Presidents run the Federal Government economy. States run their State economy.
City Mayors run their City economies.
Mayors run and manage the individual cities, not the State Legislators.
Detroit has had Democrat Mayors running their City economy since 1962 to the present day.
Democrats and Democrats only, for 51 years of mismanagement and corruption, ran that city into bankruptcy.
Plus the stupidity of the citizens who kept electing Democrats.

When FL Gov. Rick Scott laid off thousands of State workers, it increased the national unemployment rate, as it did when it was Scott Walker, Rick Perry, Jon Kasich, and all the rest of them.

So why do you blame Obama?

why do you blame bush for economic downturn?

idiot

Obama does not get blamed with state unemployment rates and practices that make differing employment situations from state to state.. what he does get blamed for is practice and policy that has unemployment high NATIONWIDE

[Synthaholic]

Synthia is trying to pick up the slack.

You're welcome to take a crack at it, too.

Or just sling mud from the sidelines, where it's safe.

When you post a non-partisan hack post worth commenting on, I'll be happy to give a serious reply. Until then.........

Explain why what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander. If you can.

 

[blackhawk]

I have only seen one other liberal outside of the OP respond to this thread that really says all that needs to be said other than.

Do you have any idea how difficult at this point is it for a liberal to convince me they are clueless by liberal standards? Republicans caused Detroit, that does it. Well done.

We have to keep this failed thread going

It's so freaking funny watching people justify foolishness

And I'm sure the SECOND Pub WORLD DEPRESSION had nothing to do with it either. Keep those Pub dupe blinders on, chumps...

 

[Freewill]

Now, now, in a way the OP does have a point. It is the Republican parties fault that the democrat party ever wins an election. Couldn't beat the war criminal in the white house so it is their fault that the country is divided like no other time. Yes, the Republicans are at fault and if the American people are dumb enough to return any democrat back into office then hell it is their fault too. One thing for sure it ain't the democrats fault. Blaming them is like blaming a person with incontinence for wetting themselves.
