Detroit To Be Taken Over By The State
Usually, when the administration needs a distraction from just how broke and insolvent in reality the country is, it sends the stock market soaring higher. As such it is beyond ironic that as the S&P is set to hit an all time high, Detroit - that shining symbol of the Obama administration's bailout of General Motors - effectively goes broke.

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing says Michigan Governor Rick Snyder will announce a state takeover of the city of Detroit on Friday.
Bing says the governor told him his decision during a phone conversation this morning. Bing was talking with reporters following a speech before the Detroit Regional Chamber at the MotorCity Casino.
The city will have 10 days to appeal the decision to the governor.

Maybe they can hire Corzine to run the place.
They should have donated it to Canada.
Canadians are gullible...but not that gullible. They already have too much junk.
how long until the fed takes over mich?
A broke City taken over by a broke State..sshhhh..don't tell me how it ends!
For all my preaching about the virtues of global governance, I have to admit that the libertarian camp has been far more successful in marketing itself to young people. Populist libertarianism has all the rebellious connotations of "fighting the man", in addition to the radical extremism that tends to attract angry nihilistic teenagers.
If the progressive movement wants to attract more young people, I'm afraid we need to change fast. In order to catch up, we need to start with something radical. So here's my suggestion: We create a United Nations pop group, made up of ten trendy teenagers, one from each of ten different countries. The first singer can be a Chinese yuppie hipster with a "rebel from a rich family" kind of look. The second will be a softer Justin Bieberesque Indian kid who interrupts each song with a serene interlude that make the girls go crazy. This will be the first multilingual pop group in existence, and its going to be awesome. Finally, global governance will be cool, and generation X will have to think hard before they join the ranks of sad, lane libertarians.
That group should also give away free iPad minis by shotting them out of the asses of the pop group performers.
I'm starting to like your style douche-bag!

I once read that if someone were to die in Detroit, and then end up in Hell, they would probably think they were in Heaven.
This article has no source. I am not saying that what Tyler wrote isn't true, but the source link isn't working. Detroit is on the rocks though, so this isn't surprising.

And what, pray tell does Detriot being on the rocks have to do with a private entity link "not working"?

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF DETROIT IS TAKEN OVER BY THE CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN.
Like that's going to help.
Well, taking Detroit over may not be a bad idea. I mean, you basically get a hold of the most lethal state in terms of firearms and guns. There's probably three firearms for every person there.
And that's if you include them fudgie-troll-apple knockers below the bridge....
i assume you've never been to Missouri? our firearms laws are very relaxed compared to most other states. if its legal on the federal level its legal here. i hear more gunfire on the weekends here in a rural county than i ever did when i lived in st louis city.
2015 - an Alien metal unknown to mankind (gold) will rescue the Fed.
Actually, the metal has the power to bring down the Fed into submission.
Detroit-Embattled former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been begging his parole agent to take off his tether so he can go back to his Texas home.
He emailed the agent, "Please take this thing off!" But Kilpatrick has been denied several requests to go home.
That request also was denied.
On Feb. 19 he wrote, "PLEASE UNCHAIN ME." (Do I really need an editorial comment here?...lol)
That was denied, too.
In a Feb. 6 request, Kilpatrick wrote, "My sons are playing one of their remaining two varsity basketball games on Friday. I have only seen them play in one game this season. It would be amazing for them, as well as me, if I'm allowed to attend this activity. I humbly request to travel to my home. would return on Sunday evening ... "
Kilpatrick's wife and kids came to Detroit one day to hear his defense attorney argue for his freedom in the federal corruption trial. Afterwards, Kilpatrick sent his parole agent an email saying, "I HATE asking this question. It is absolutely against any notion of humanity and freedom that I have left within me, but I have been requested to ask you for this by my family. Again, I HATE it. I am requesting to take my family to the airport in the morning ... "
Again, that request was denied.
Kilpatrick is on a tether and forced to stay at his mother's Detroit home because he failed to disclose cash gifts to his parole agent. Those gifts include a $2,000 check from a Chicago pastor. Kilpatrick was caught on tape cashing the check at a Walmart.
The former mayor owes Detroit $850,000 in restitution. His most recent reports include additional cash gifts including $1,000 from former Supreme Court justice Conrad Mallett and $5,000 from his mother, former Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick.

branded from the second you are born
welcome to a world where no one cares
they'll take your life
and in return, give you nothing
all through out your years of puberty
adolescent rage and misery
time to be shaped and formed
a bi-product of life
disciple of their cause and their beliefs
democracy has always been a dream
now be a good boy
step in line, your reward is coming
now desensitize humanity
marching to the sound of bigotry
you're just like them, its too late
what's done cannot be erased
you, think you can own me
but there's something you can't see
it's my finger saluting you and your country
and i don't care if i'm alone
i will never be a drone
and if you think you're free your blinded too
i hate this place
i hate your face
fuck you all
one way, your way, dead day
you've tried for years to bring me down
but you'll never have my life
you don't have anything i want
and if you think you did you're even more
pathetic than i thought
it makes me sick to even know your out there
all your splendor don't mean shit to me

You do know that the re-branded "Nobel Prize in Economics" is actually the prize from the Swedish Central Bank, in memory of Alfred Nobel? We should call it the "Sveriges Riksbank" award, just to annoy him with the truth.

These stupid MoFo's in Detroit would re-elect Qwami Kilpatrick if the opportunity arose. What a bunch of Fucktards!
Who you calling a fucktard?!? Hon Mayor Barry asking.
Marion Barry? That is DC.
Yeah but I'm trying to get around the ad hominem of an entire group of citizenry and say if Kwame was reelected it would pale in comparison of WTF to reelection of a guy caught on video, way back, buying crack.
Bitch set me up!
good memory, pods
That is the best license plate I've seen in forever
Once again, I'd like to personally thank the Tylers for their work.
The truth will set you free.
Mayor Barry is a prime example of exactly who wins elections.
What better job for criminals than to work for an organization which has been granted the monopoly privilege on criminal behavior in a geographic region.
that had to be one hell of a victory party when he won the first time. when his dealer heard that Barry had been re-elected he got on the phone and placed an order for a brand new mercedes, special paint and interior color- cocaine white.
Bet your ass they would. I grew up there, still have family in one of the Lilly White suburbs and the GibsMeDats just do not care. Detroit is, without a doubt, one of the most worthless, corrupt places in the U.S.. Avoid at all cost.
Still, it is a given Whitey will be blamed.
Yes, whitey will be blamed for every failure in which another group has wrested control and failure blossomed. Like Bush's fault, it's all whitey's fault. And if you reject that notion, you're a racist.
Absolutely positively correct...
~ Sincerely Yours, THE 'PROPAGANDIST' YIDS ~ The bakers & deli owners get a free pass on this...
It is funny that you say that. I caught a piece of the Melissa Harris Perry's worthless show this weekend, and, basically they were blaming Detriot's problems on the White Flight of the 60's and 70's. Like those people were supposed to stay in that rathole of a city. I really couldn't believe my ears, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was anyway.
True Dat !
So they tried to pander to blacks by saying a city turns to shit when the white people leave? Interesting strategy.
Did the Titanic sink because the First Class passengers left, or did the First Class passengers leave because the ship was clearly doomed to sink?
Yeah... same way the people in the lifeboats sank the Titanic.
When I was a kid they called Detroit "Murder City". We would celebrate new years by seeing how long it took after mid-night for the first murder to be reported. Thank God for the Detroit River.

I wish you would have spent some years in the Soviet Union to understand the great "benefits" of collectivism in it's entirety. Alone the analysis of this insanity would have magnitudes more substance than your Nobel prize work.
Detroit is the logical outcome of 50 years of union and leftist statist rule.
If only that were really you, Princeton prick.
I'd punch you in the throat.
You should read more. In actuality, Detroit is one of the super secret express entrances to Hell. The other express entrances? You can probably guess, but just in case you can't, they are: Washington D.C., the ground under each branch of the Fed, the gold vault at MF Global, Mike Bloomberg's anal cavity, and the entire state of Kalifornia.
We're spoon-fed plenty of "Globalist Chic" through the Green Movement. "Saving The Planet" is the environmental equivalent of the GWOT. Agenda 21 radicals have their minds twisted into thinking they defend the "Earth Mother." It's a magnet for disenfranchised types. I'm surprised their pablum wasn't ramped up more during OWS.
Too bad they wont realize until its too late that Mother Nature really doesnt give a shit about their stupid little movement.
Mother Nature doesn't give a shit about the nutbars, but you should. Big Green Brother is infiltrating your local government.

MDB...I would have answered to you, but for the fact that I realize you use the word "libertarian" too widely....What do you mean exactly by libertarian? What is so sad about liberty?
Oh, and by the way, can you enlighten us a bit? Where do you see gold plunging to?
I am afraid that your sophisticated sarcasm will turn to reality soon.
I attend a Univ. in the Northeast and most students in the political realm are leaning libertarian.
Cool.
Even some profs are secret Libertarians. One heads the Democrats at the Univ. and one student exposed him as a closet Ron Paul supporter. This is why they need the media, because they know that the tide is turning. The truth shall set us free.
Good to hear. I know a handful of libertarians inbedded in academic and financial institutions(NE) but they have minimal support from students or clients. Lots of folks still wanna pretend everything is O.K.
Same with CA. Bunches and bunches, gobs and gobs of students looking upon less gubamint as the solution. Which BTW, is heavily bar-belled to the other side demanding the right of a good job, etc.
Major schism with the libertarian/RP camp much larger in academia/student land than rest of populace best I can discern... of course, all anecdotal information...
Really? The two, yes two, whom I know live half-way around the world in formerly communist and fascist countries, respectively.
As for American youth, particularly students, they're as statist as ever. Half are in the Great Helmsman's Forward Movement, the other half are waxing nostalgic for Reagan and Bush.
"most students in the political realm are leaning libertarian"
They are "leaning"? Like the Tower of Pisa? Like the one-legged woman who works at IHOP, and is named Eileen?
Have they refuted Hoppe's argumentation ethics?
I attened Univeristy up in the Northeast for a year but got tired of all those foreigners speaking Russins, Chinese, Urdu, Paki, etc....so I moved to Texas where everyone speaks the same language---Mexican.

My friend from the Great White North told me shit's gettin' REAL at the Windsor Ballet...
..he said "[m]an....these FOOLS don't know...."
Ha ha, Windsor Ballet, that brings back memories. Jason's, Cheetah's, tec. I hear "anything goes" in those back rooms, especially in Detroit.
Just rumors, I don't frequent those joints no moar!
What about all those magnificent strip clubs in Windsor?
Good food. Good entertainment. Ahhhhhh..... youth.
I think a merger of Detroit + Windsor might be perfect. Sounds like Canada/ Ontario want's to be rid of Windsor. Michigan wants out of Detroit.
Perfect! All we'll need is a re-package of land/ assets. Like RETs or mortgage backed securities!
Toss in some clever marketing gimmics. Detroit has the welcoming, famous Big Black Fist.
Windsor has the sin-for-sale thing going on.
We could rename this new, semi-autonomous zone (like Hong Kong) something like:
Fort Fistor. Kind of an homage to the old fort Dearborn thing. Back to the future!
And feeding all those detroit/windsorians will be easy! The River is filled with carp. We'll just start netting & processing them into carp nuggets & wafers.
And no gun control! At all. We'll ring the new zone with 30 ft of steel-reinforced concrete & razor wire. Don' worry. It will all work it all out in no time.
I volunteer to be the first emperor.
Sheiiiiiiiiit.
Chrysler wouldn't even have to change it's marketing tag "Imported from Detroit"
Brilliant!
What do they need jobs for? They've got President O.
My taxes are high enough, I don't wanna pay for the whole bridge from Windsor.
LMAO! As a Canadian I agree with that statement. We have a lot of Junk in our country...
i know this is ot...but this is to funny.....maxine (bovine) waters says gonna lose 170mill. jobs......hasselhoff didnt embarrass himself this bad.....
and cant they do a special dividend and give it to the last 12 people remaining?
Wouldn't it be cheaper to build a very large wall around Detroit, with barbed wire facing inwards?
Perhaps, but that might impede the flow of CIA-sponsored illegal drugs into and out of the city as well.
Can't have that!
Build the fence and wall. Then put every person that is on welfare in there. I'll bet the welfare roles would decrease substantially.
That would be a lot of dead bankers.
Troof.
However, I find it almost prophetic that bad SciFi from the 1980s is becoming reality. Maybe we should just get OCP and the ED 209 to finish the place off? I think I owned a 6000 SUX at one point, the Ford Taurus, it got pretty crappy gas mileage and went through atleast one transmission. Where is Clarence Bodecker when you need him?
Here is a bit of trivia for my fellow ZHers...
Did you know that the Red Dawn movie remake/update was filmed in good ol' Detroit?
The production company saved huge $$$ by not having to build sets and shut down a 'real' city. There were literally blocks and blocks of ghost town in Detroit, including areas with libraries (go figure) and poice stations abandoned and unused.
Put that in your 'worthless trivia' file...

That would be a good deal no matter what they gave us for it.

Canada actually captured Detroit in the War of 1812. But we can't stand getting mugged all the time and gave it back.

It amazes me how many of those 80's sci-fi shoot-em-ups are proving prophetic.
debt servitude is so hot right now
The synergies achieved by Michigan taking over Detroit create a fabulous opportunity to continue on with Governor Snynder's visions of a New Detroit. This historic event is a wonderful BUYING OPPORTUNITY for businesses and 1st time home owners, both.
Michigan is currently taking a "one time" charge on the city's bonds, but they are raising forward guidance on new bonds to be issued as soon as financial consulting services can be contracted.
GM is planning to move jobs back to Detroit soon.
This is fabulous news. I cannot believe that the BlowHorn [CNBC] hasn't touched this story yet. But then again, they haven't said peep about the continuing issues at WalMart...so...perhaps...errrr...I am interpreting this Michigan story incorrectly.
You are. The area is hopeless. That's why I left.
It's not even that her timing was wrong, but she missed the steps central bankers would make before the whole thing unravels, no?
