Republicans Own Detroit Bankruptcy

[georgiapeach]

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.

Pssst, the automakers moved South, in right to work states, where the taxes are cheap and the unions arent very popular.

All good things must come to an end, so good luck paying those bloated pensions.

You look a lot like Paul Ryan. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself.

bahahahahahahaha

Detroit is now being run by Republicans..............

It is laughable. I expected that Dems would try to avoid the blame. Detroit has steadily been declining for years.

Smaller and bigger cities across the country are managing to stay afloat. The Dems would like to blame another thing on Bush, but not this time. It's years of mismanagement that led to Detroit's downfall and they know it. If it was Bush's fault, then every city in the country would be in the same boat.

and 5 years in its still Booooosh's economy? or not?

what a twit....

You and your pals tried to blame the recession on the Democrats winning Congress in 2006.

Either you're admitting you all were full of shit, or, sorry, Detroit's bankruptcy belongs to Rick Snyder and the GOP legislature in Lansing.

Except it was years and years of DEM controlled spending in DET that caused this.. putting a REP anything in charge after the damage and saying it is their fault is ludicrous

Now.. before your BOOOOOOSSSSHHHH Argument.. there was PLENTY of fiscal problems and spending problems by Bush and the REPs.. .in 2006 the DEMs made it even worse.. and Obamalama and the DEMs increased the problem even more.. not turning ANYTHING around...

Follow the spending, idiot

They got their "talking points" today from MSNBC's Shultzie. One bubble head throws out a line of shit, they AAAAAAALLLLLLL pick up on it.

And then they wonder why conservatives see them as whack jobs. They truly are little brain dead, programmable sheep.

And you have nothing....again ..............Detroit run by Dems for years.

Do you think about your posts at all??

they have a case of what's called, Joey Buffoon Biden

 

[francoHFW]

Get him synth. He obviously knows that the republican congress can't do that on their own. The Senate would also have to vote on it as we'll as a signature of the President.

Our civics teacher Synth is gonna take you down for that Franco!

Do Dems ever take credit for anything they get done?

If you don't know Pubs caused the debt crisis and the sequester, you're a superdupe- they're GREAT at disfunction and screwing the country for politics...that's 1 1/2-2% cut in a year's national growth. For NADA. First time in the country's history, in the middle of the Great Recession THEY caused. Pub dupes!

BTW, Michigan Pubs cut hundreds of millions in aid to Detroit in addition to the billions the national ones did.

Does actual thinking and facts give you a headache? I don't blame you, dingbats LOL.

I would not want to be you when synth grabs ahold of you and teaches you civics!

Laws are only enacted when they pass both houses and are signed by the POTUS

(Sorry synth, I'm sure you wanted to point that out, but I just couldn't wait)

Again, the dems get something done and WON'T take credit for it.

Try leading and people might actually take your side seriously

You can't lead bought off a-holes, dupe. Your party and its propaganda machine are a disgrace. Detroit is just the worst of rust belt orphans. Has to do with laws that WEREN'T passed. And so many Michigan fed tax dollars going off to"independant, macho" lol red states...

Well... pity sakes but... no... no one is even remotely buying any of your BULL SHIT.

Sorry... you just look STUPID.

Well if you are going to skirt the truth, as you seem to like to do, and move up the government ladder then isn't the POTUS ultimately responsible for Detroit?

Grow up, Detroit has been run into the ground for YEARS by democrats. Be a man and accept responsibility. But then again if you do then you wouldn't be a democrat.

Stop it Franco, this whole thread is making me laugh so hard I might wet myself

Honestly, you can't make this shit up

Gawd you don't even mind looking like a tool

You cannot possibly be this stupid

Explain, please.

 

[OKTexas]

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.

That's how you justify gay marriage. Dip!

When was the last time the GOP controlled the mayorship and a majority of the city council?

Ummm.. apparently the fact that Detroit is run from Detroit City Hall and not from Lansing has escaped somebody's notice. Might as well blame the city government of Windsor for the mess, after all they're a lot closer to Detroit than Lansing is.

Ummm.. apparently the fact that Florida is run from Tallahassee and not from Washington has escaped somebody's notice.

So, tell me why Obama is responsible for the national unemployment rate?

do not attempt to bring facts into this!

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...

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

What great recession dupe, didn't we have a summer of recovery 3 years ago? We are not in a recession ask your dear leader, every thing is peachy keen.

 

[boedicca]

Recovery Summer Part V!

[Synthaholic]

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!

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.

No, they see that I am doing fine all by myself.

None of you have the balls to answer the OP, so you just mock it.

 

[Synthaholic]

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.

Mad daving, yo!

Your a bit behind

Obama already bragged about saving Detroit

It was in all the papers

YOU might not like what Obama considers as "saving", but I'm sure he would not like you trying to take away his success story

Seriously

You can't make this shit up
