A once powerfull city
Detroit went from over 1.8 million residents to half of that thanks to failed policies and corruption of some democrats and union rule. Businesses left in droves leading to the highest unemployment rate and they are in the top 10 of the highest tax rate so it's pretty hard to justify raising them.
There's a lesson in a failed one party rule here which will probably go unnoticed or ignored.
Thought Obama wasn't going to let that happen to Detroit. Oh yeah, that was one of those campaign thingy's.
