The City of Detroit

[Philobeado]

The Democratic Party has had control over the City of Detroit since 1962. In a recent article in the Huffington post, Detroit's budget woes could leave areas of the city without police, fire services and garbage pick-up.

The City of Detroit has lost half of its population over the past 50 years. In 2007 Detroit was ranked as the most dangerous city in America. Detroit is the poorest big city in America with 31% of its citizens living below the poverty line. Detroit has among the highest population of homeless people in the country and a new report suggesting that Detroit support the homeless which puts 50% of its homeless population at risk of dying in 2011.

The City of Detroit has been under Democrat rule for 49 years. Nothing in Detroit is getting better but year after year after year the Democrat party promises the City of Detroit that they will solve the problems of Detroit. Still nothing has changed. The surrounding areas of Downtown Detroit can confuse you into thinking that you have wondered into a third world nation!

The Democrats socialized programs are once again under funded. The City had to borrow $100 million dollars to fund the Police and Fire Departments last year. Detroits budget may not be able to afford a contract for Garbage pick-up for the year 2011. Road repair isnt budgetted into 2011's plan as well as not having money to power street lamps.


>How is it that the City of Detroit keeps electing the same party year after year? The promises to rebuild Detroit are never fulfilled. The Detroit School System is in complete and udder disarray. But they keep electing the same group to solve the problem that they have created!<

Most of the old big northern cities in the rust belt are Democrat controlled, Philobeado. There just aren't all that many poor people who vote Republican. I am very sad to see Motown on its knees.....I love Detroit.

I dunno what the solution is, but you're right....the one party thingie has not helped. For starters, there's a tremendous amount of corruption.

Got any ideas?

End the war on drugs and gun control. Detroit will be cleaned up in a matter of days.

Black folks and the Dimocrat party in the role of the Pied Piper. I'd say the people of Detroit are the authors of their own misfortune.

Welfare enslavement.

The dems have eased people into needing the government to the point where people don't know how to care for themselves.

But don't be confused by the horror that is Detroit. It is the Dream for America that the dems invision. If they didn't want equal sorrow for all, they would stop doing what they are doing.

I'd say the collapse of the the US auto industry is the major problem

Let's see. So far we have blamed Democrats, one party rule, corruption, Islam, blacks and drug laws.

How about a few factors that we have not yet discussed, like the loss of manufacturing jobs? The degradation of public education? Poverty?

O wait...those are harder to address and don't advance anyone's agenda. Nevermind.

One thing that should make everyone sick to their stomach is that we dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima in 1945 and this is what the city of Hiroshima looks like today :

That's it! Nuke it and start over.

They ran out of people to tax, so they ran out of money, but it didn't stop them from wasting.

The high cost of vans makes me have to wait until they are 10 years old to buy. I think fewer and fewer people could afford new one.

Get rid of the DoEd. It's a clear failure of America to regulate education coast to coast.

Poverty is not a valid excuse. Never has been, never will be.

These are American agendas. good luck finding people with the guts to follow through

Interesting, Two Thumbs. So happens, I think the auto industry owes the City of Detroit, just as I do the steel industry owes Cleveland. Putting the touch on them won't solve everything, but allowing them to exploit the area and then walk isn't helpful either.

How about we just blame the real people responsible? The people themselves.

Eliminate corruption in the hearts of the people and you will see the city flourish no matter who has power.

Blaming the poor for their own poverty seems to be popular just now, but it is no more fair to do so than it ever was. BTW, I lived in Detroit in the late 1970's, Avatar. IMO, good people live there just as live anywhere.

Care to climb down off your high horse now?

Detroit is more dangerous than Iraq.

HAHAHA

The city of Bethlehem PA THRIVES w/o the steel mills. The unions are DEAD here. We have art, music, parades, colleges, etc, etc. A thriving little Star in the middle of a rust belt waste land. It's so nice here people from NYC are starting to move nearby.

One industry moves on, you can weep over the lose or suck it up, be a man, and make the most of what you got.

Detroit is more dangerous than Iraq.

But not as dangerous as Mexico

Detroit has alot of problems, I hear they have whole neighborhoods of abandoned houses, crime is rampant and the city is broke. But than again that sounds like nearly every other major city these days.

Exactly you get what you vote for.
