Barry's Pals Jay-Z And Beyonce Join Al Sharpnuts At Prince Skittles Rally…

"These two P'sOS should go back to Cuba and bring that sorry excuse for a man with them. It made me sick to see this picture this morning. Barry and Mooch's big " friends" and look who they are with. Guess we will be seeing the thugs parents at the Shite House next. Just parade one racist after another through the people's house. How sad. 

Notice when Geraldo Rivera showed up everyone started yeliing "Get Fox out". It must hurt Geraldo's ego to not be wanted by conservatives or libtards. Yes sir, let's protest everywhere except Shitcago. Must avoid Shitcago at all costs. There is no reasoning with these people. They are out

10 reasons for Detroit’s historic failures

By Eric Boehm | Watchdog.org

The city of Detroit declared Chapter 9 bankruptcy on Thursday, making it the largest city in American history to go through the municipal bankruptcy process.

On Friday, a judge ruled that filing unconstitutional, but as the city sorts out its next move, here are 10 facts about the causes of Detroit’s financial mess and 10 photos that reflect just how badly the city is doing these days.

NOT SO GRANDE: The main dance floor at The Grande Ballroom in downtown Detroit has seen better days.

1.       The population has collapsed in the past six decades.

Detroit was America’s fourth largest city in 1950, when it had 1.8 million people.  In the 2010 census, the city had fewer than 702,000 residents — an astonishing decline of 60 percent in 60 years.

Yes, fewer people means a smaller tax base, but the real problem is the city’s government did not shrink along with the population — more on that in a bit.

THEY USED TO MAKE CARS HERE: The Packard Automobile Factory, where thousands of auto workers once labored, is a ghostly reminder of the city’s past as a manufacturing center.

2.       Detroit has the highest unemployment rate of any major city in the nation.

This is both a cause and an effect of the population situation.  Detroit is caught in a vicious cycle.  There are few jobs, so people leave to find work elsewhere.  Meanwhile, the high cost of the city’s government (more on that in a second) drives employers away and makes other less willing to relocate there.  That means fewer jobs, which further erodes the tax base and causes more people to leave the city.

BROKE INTO THE OLD APARTMENT: Built in 1924, the Cass Plaza Apartments are a boarded-up remnant of their former Italian Renaissance-style glory.

3.       Detroit has $18 billion – yes, billion —  in general-obligation debt.

That’s a lot more than some of the other high-profile municipal bankruptcy cases in recent
