Yes, that makes total sense.
He's right. It's a plan that has been talked about quite a bit in Detroit for the past couple of years... It is that desperate of a situation. Many entire neighborhoods are vacant, boarded up and burned out houses and buildings.
There are no tax payers left in the city. Anyone who did work or owned property fled the city in the past decade. The city failed to provide basic services. The only tax payers left are retirees from the auto companies. For years the city lied on their census because any city with a population over one million gets huge tax benefits and a federal grant. When it was finally investigated they found the figure to be less then 800,000....They were actually using the names of dead people to boost their numbers.
All of the elected offcicals are corrupt. The previous Mayor and all of the city council were among the highest paid in the country. All had their own cadre of bodyguards. Many had family, friends and babies mamas on the city payroll. While the city fell further and further into debt they spent money like it was going out of style. Everytime election year rolled around the always sang the same old bullshit tune about "the community" and "keeping it in the city"...a bunch of bullshit, black,libtard rhetoric and the voters were always shamed into voting the same assholes in year after year even when it was apparent they were robbing the city blind.
