Just another reason why Detroit is in the situation it's in today.
Lack of leadership and lack of responsibility costs money.

It's much easier for Bing and the Clownsil to demand City employees give up more and more every day in the form of pay concessions, benefits, pensions; and ask them to bite the bullet, than to do what they can to collect these taxes.

Every City employee will qualify for food stamps and bridge cards because their wages will be under what is considered poverty and they will qualify.

Who is going to keep working when they cry "payless paydays"? Believe me, if that should happen, the City will implode because it will be deserted. I know that I would want to help get the City back on its' feet, but my family and their needs would certainly come first and there is no way that I would work and not get paid.
