15 Detroit Fire Companies closing, nearly 200 demotions

Whaddya mean, tragic? We're just running our government like a business. Firefighters aren't turning a profit? Out they go. Anyway, Mitt Romney doesn't believe in firefighters, and he's a man who knows a thing or two about running a business.

Last time I looked, fire fighting was the job of municipalities.

Mitt Romney is running for President of the US, not Mayor of Detroit.

Any beef you have with fire fighting in Detroit you should take up with Mayor Bing and the incompetents on the Detroit Clownsil.

Who has a beef? Romney talks about running America like a business, Bing is straight-up doing it in Detroit. If running government like a business is what America wants and needs, maybe Bing should be the one to run for president.

You think we have it bad now, you better hope that "loon" Romney doesn't get elected.
