City departments become more efficient.

Residents flock to city.

Jobs become available to all.

Wealth, prosperity and joy arrive naturally.

Liberals cry.

Yep. In other words, what's good for the Detroiters of tomorrow probably won't be good for Detroiters of today.

Think General Motors. They went bankrupt. Anyone who was a stockholder of the OLD GM got nothing. Anyone they owed money to got a fraction of what they were owed. But freed from the shackles of legacy costs and debt, NEW GM is a healthy company again spitting out some excellent product.

Unfortunately, though, while GM bankruptcy was hard enough...the process took less than 18 months from start to finish. In Detroit, the process could very well be 3-5 years.

All hail the King! Where have our conservative saviours been all this time?

I doubt it.
