Really?
We are willing to destroy democracy to prove it, too?
We were stranded here by the Plutocrats that removed 'work' from the USA and now we are suppose to be resurrected by the same people that threw it away in the first place? Where does that add up? Our cities are suppose to sell assets, abandon democracy and relinquish treasuries in order to 'find a way.' What is happening to this country? How can it be tolerated?
Governor Snyder worked with the brain trust of Michigan universities whom built a company out of genius and then sold the company to Wall Street and exported it out of Michigan. This man can actually be trusted to rescue cities? Destroying democracies is not the answer. Not even close. If he had a record of rescuing companies and putting Michiganders back to work I could understand how people would see hope within his abilities, but, that wasn't at all the case, what did everyone believe was going to happen?
