Detroit is still there?

[jeff simon]

Detroit is nearly 85% black! Many big city governments have been ruined by Black democrats, but none more than Detroit!!!!

[Sojourner DeBlois]

English is still the primary language of Americans.

[Sojourner DeBlois]

Go Gov! This is why we hired you! Michigan has problems - Please keep up the good work! Please continue to follow through on recognizing and replacing dead-beat governments leaders who are caught preying on their unwitting constituents through the misuse of tax money, corruption and the abuse of power. Don't let the ignorance of those who understand NOTHING of the political sway of their leadership stand in the way. I am very proud of your efforts here!

How about paying DETROIT the hundreds of millions the State of Michigan borrowed? You don't wanna pay back because you WANT DETROIT to go under. AN EFM CAN AND WILL VoID ALL UNION CONTRACTS AND DISMANTLE THE CITY FROM WITHIN. THIS IS A PLAN TO DESTROY LABOR. FIRST THE RIGHT TO WORK PASSED THEN GO INTO DET AND DESTROY UNIONS THEN ALLOW FORTUNE500s to build in Detroit for cheap labor and land.

Dear Mr. Snyder, if you want to fix Detroit, go ask the Federal Govt. for a reprieve on the minimum wage. Like around $4 an hour. That way there will be a huge incentive for Capitalism to take up business as well as putting money into the hands of the citizens of Detroit without the welfare middleman taking his huge cut. That way Detroit can compete with Mexico and China. Next step is to roll back taxes and unecessary regulations.

What the people of Detroit want is irrelevant. They don't pay their own bills and they are ass deep in debt. At some point in any defaulting debtor's life a creditor, financier, or bankruptcy administrator steps in to take over. You can't run a corrupt welfare state unless you are Venezuela and have oil to pay the bills. Detroit has no oil wells.

Good call.

Little fucking late making that call for help isnt he? Like half of Detroit is abandoned and the rest is a ghetto isnt it? They need robocop
