The World is Watching Detroit

[TKshreve]

I keep hearing this coulda-shoulda-woulda argument lately. Weren't there two Republican candidates for President in Detroit yesterday saying just that? Both Mr. "Let Detroit Die" Romney and Mr. we-should-have-let-Detroit-die Santorum were touting that sour grape line. And that the on the day after GM announced is largest profits ever!

Both would have cast GM and Chrysler to the wolves and vagaries of bankruptcy that very possibly could have led to the complete liquidation of both and a resulting disaster for metro Detroit and Michigan. Instead they try to create a rosy illusion of what might have happened while ignoring the of the great success of what really happened staring them in the face.

We are clearly in better and improving times.

Lowell, Couldn't agree more. Why even bother coming to MI to campaign if that is what you have to say? Just skip the state. Trying to double-down on their past claims [[to Detroiters) is borderline insane. We are no-nonsense people here. I think just about everybody knows the potential extent of damage that was on the line.

Add to this, they have no facts to back up their prophetic claims that bankruptcy would have been [equal to or greater] than the actual outcome.

These guys will say anything......
