Message: [QUOTE="AlaskaSU, post: 298190, member: 230"] Detroit May Go Broke in Days My reply is off topic but not much more so than the article on Detroit. Bing is in a dilemma not of his own making. Bankruptcy is the inevitable result of governance by Dem./lib/socialist big hearted tax and spenders. Bing is trying to clean up the mess, but he can't control the unions. Unions are a labor monopoly with powers of thugery that are beyond the powers of any monopolistic corporation. Even a monopolist corporation has to satisfy the consumer. A union only has to satisfy its members. Whether it is Greece, Spain, CA or Detroit, the road to poverty is paved by well intentioned fools. Prosperity requires the ability to make a profit. Only profit driven capitalism allows the pie to grow. A rising tide floats all boats but socialism simply rearranges the chairs on the Titanic. [/QUOTE]
