That’s right, comrade! The future is brighter for the disabled people in the People’s Republic of Detroit! Either that, or Detroit’s curbs should have been curbed in the first place. Motor City Times has a hilariously typical example of big government at work… Friend of MCT, T Shelton sent a link to a very interesting post @ Motor City Muckraker. MCM has a post giving us a small glimpse into the absurdity that is government bureaucracy run wild (at the local and federal level): Two years after the city dished out the tax dollars to install the ramps, the Motor City Muckraker examined the whereabouts of [...]

Detroit Demands Payback From Obama, In the Form of a Bailout

For Once, I Agree with a Union: Detroit Bus Drivers Being Bitten by Bed Bugs!
Yes, you read that correctly. One of the original purposes for unions were to protect the safety of the workers.

Shovel Ready? $11,000,000 Spent-two People Helped!
For government work, that’s a bargain, apparently. We said that when the porkulus passed, that there would be tremendous waste and corruption. So, when the following came to light, I was not surprised. Michelle Malkin has more on the shenanigans in Detroit. Part of an $11 million grant intended to provide business attire to 400 low-income job-seekers instead helped only two people, an audit of the city’s Department of Human Services has found.

More Evidence that OWS is a Microcosm of Their Future Socialist State
Redistribution is one of the key foundational concepts of socialism. People having differing talents & work habits is inherently unfair, so government has to steal from others, and give to others. Naturally, we have history to teach us that this thinking eventually fails, but reality is an elusive concept to our left, so additional examination is needed. The latest example comes from OWS, who have been taking over forclosed homes, and kinda-sorta giving them to others. Let’s see how that has worked out for them. Hot Air has the details… The proposal originally attracted the support of Wise Ahadzi, owner [...]
Who Said There Was No Such Thing As A Free Lunch?
President Obama has asked to address a joint session of Congress to present his new vision for America. But then we are told he will only share half of his vision at this joint session of Congress. Apart from the annual State of the Union address by presidents, calling for a joint session of Congress is generally reserved for those times when the President feels compelled to address some national emergency. Do you think that President Obama finally recognizes that our country is facing a nation emergency? If he does, why his he only planning to share part of his plan? [...]

Beat on occasion if capitalism breaks out. Ding Look at the lovely liberal Detroit, ready for serving… The NY Times covered this… It was the largest percentage drop in history for any American city with more than 100,000 residents, apart from the unique situation of New Orleans, where the population droppedby 29 percent after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, said Andrew A.
