Detroit was the testing grounds for progressive policies and agenda. Those policies and agenda were then applied on a larger scale at a socialist laboratory of radical fiscal policy, illegal alien pandering and wasteful spending in California. CA’s economy is greater than Greece… let that sink in for a minute.
Now Detroit is bankrupt with $18 billion in debt, Greece was/ will again be on fire (from the massive failures in entitlements and excessive spending by a corrupt government which had rippling affects and continues to in the European Union) CA has the same policies as both, with $28+ billion in debt. What do you think is going to happen to America when CA goes under? Hmm? The ninth largest economy in the world is worse off than Detroit let alone a country on fire like Greece!
Detroit is a perfect example of what happens when you allow liberal/ progressive democrats to maintain permanent power. Everything they touch goes to hell!
