Didn't help that unions aren't cheap, and pretty much ran everything in that city. Couldn't agree more that the Detroit City Gov thinks their citizens are just a meal ticket and funding for their liberal pet projects.

Same here- I figured it was only a matter "when" not "if" with Detroit. Anyone care to place bets on who's next? I got $1 on Chicago or Baltimore.
