Detroit and the Failed Liberal Experiment

Unread postby timmac » Thu 03 Jul 2014, 02:14:22

Detroit is a prime example of a welfare state where people believe they deserve money for nothing in return, expect the rich and those that work to pay for their water, food, healthcare, etc, etc, its high time we just shut down the whole town and let the bums go forage for food else where but not here in America..

The city of Detroit appears to be on the verge of being taken over financially by the state of Michigan. As expected, liberals and labor unions are crying the usual fouls and predicting the usual calamities that will befall what was once the nation’s fourth largest city.

Thousands go without water as Detroit cuts service for nonpayment

It has been six weeks since the city turned off Nicole Hill's water..

Dirty dishes are piled in the sink of her crowded kitchen, where the yellow-and-green linoleum floor is soiled and sticky. A small garbage can is filled with water from a neighbor, while a bigger one sits outside in the yard, where she hopes it will collect some rain. She's developed an intricate recycling system of washing the dishes, cleaning the floor and flushing the toilet with the same water.

I would not get too smug living there in Las Vegas, because it will be sand dunes and sagebrush some day, and people will laugh at the stupid monkeys that lived there.

This lady has a $6,000 water bill which she does not think is right. A buddy of mine got a $500 water bill one month but he's a lawyer so it got straightened out.

Seriously, maybe you just need to run around the block a few times screaming "N****R!, N****R!, N****R!, N****R!" and you'll feel better.

Common problem: sumlords won't, or themselves can't afford to, fix plumbing problems. So a leak goes unresolved and the tenant gets a big water bill.

It would be a last laugh when places like Las Vegas turn into ghost towns due to lack of water, if it wasn't so serious for the rest of the country.

Detroit simply forgot the most basic rule of cities. The benefit of living in a city must be percieved by the people living there as outweighing the costs. It doesn't matter what I think about living in a city, it matters what the people living there think. When the City Government forgets that first rule they start discouraging citizens from living in their city completely without malice or forethought.
II Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Detriot - Motown not only gave us some fantastic tunes, but was also the driving force behind the Auto Industry which although in hindsight causes a hell of a lot of problems, earned US it's place as the worlds major manufacturer.

WTF has Vegas given us?

There is no welfare state anywhere in America, and certainly not in Detroit. In a welfare state that woman wouldn't get a water bill. What has failed in Detroit is capitalism.

Starting in March, the Detroit Water and Sewage Department (DWSD) sent out shut-off notices to 46,000 homes for overdue bills, arguing that people can afford to pay, but refuse.... $75, the average monthly water bill in Detroit.....

Perhaps the government should start up a "water-stamps" program to pay for people's water.

We've got got food-stamps for free food, and housing vouchers for free housing, and Medicaid for free medical care, and Obamaphones for free telephones----why not water-stamps for free water?

Don't hold your breath, we have a good 20 years before it gets more serious, by then we will have a water pipe line from lake Michigan or somewhere else..
