If you believe what Republicans have to say, Detroit is in trouble because of the greed of union workers and bad government by Democrats.  Of course, if you believe what Republicans say about that, or virtually everything else, you have the privilege of being wrong.  Herr Rick Snyder is not only trying to put Detroit into bankruptcy, but also saying he would decline federal funds if offered.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"23SnyderHat\"While Gov. Rick Snyder (R-MI), Detroit Mayor David Bing, and emergency manager Kevyn Orr gave varied takes on the likelihood of a federal bailout for the country\u2019s largest bankrupt city<\/a> on Sunday, Snyder and Orr agreed that the city\u2019s pensioners are going to see their promised benefits cut<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Orr explicitly avoided taking a view on federal help when asked by Fox News Sunday\u2019s Chris Wallace, saying that as an appointee rather than an elected official the question was beyond his purview. On ABC, Bing hinted that federal help might be proper, noting that \u201cwhen we had Chrysler and General Motors, that the federal government helped in their bankruptcy, they came back and they\u2019re doing well.\u201d Bing said it would be \u201cdifficult right now to ask directly\u201d for federal help, and said \u201cnot yet\u201d when This Week\u2019s George Stephonopoulos asked directly if he would request federal aid. <\/p>\n

Snyder, who appointed Orr, appeared to reject the idea of a bailout<\/strong>. In his first Sunday show appearance, Snyder told NBC that \u201cI\u2019m not going to speak for the federal government.\u201d Later, on CBS, the governor was asked directly if there is a bailout in the city\u2019s future. \u201cNo. And I don\u2019t expect one,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cIf the federal government wants to do that, that\u2019s their option,\u201d he said, adding \u201cI don\u2019t view that as the right answer.\u201d\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Herr Snyder has no desire save Detroit, in spite of being elected in 2007 on the promise that he would not let Detroit fall into bankruptcy.  He prefers to steal workers\u2019 pensions and get bargain basement prices on Detroit’s assets for his 1% cronies.   That is also the plan Republicans have for YOUR community.  However, Detroit can be saved, as Ed Schultz discussed with Virg Benero and Michael Eric Dyson.<\/font><\/p>\n

Detroit is in trouble, because Republican vulture capitalists offshored 90% of the city’s manufacturing jobs.<\/font><\/p>\n

Ed’s plan includes, public safety, education, tax incentives and jobs., but there needs to be a Step 5.  For any plan to succeed, it has to be taken out the hands of Rick Snyder and his goose-stepping 1% minions.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
