After reading the "People's Plan," I feel like I've just been shaken down by a hustler at a pool hall.

Most of the appropriate 'evil-doers' of the Western World are represented within the confines of this 10-page document: bankers, whites, corporations, state government, federal government, emergency managers, etc. ad nauseum.

As large as this bankruptcy actually has become -I'm not sure some of the special interest groups have completely wrapped their minds around the long-term threat to the city if this doesn't get completed with some sense of order [[and pain for all parties).

Manifestos that demand immediate action often seem to be short on details of workable plans on how to accomplish their gripes other than to put out a hand -and ask for another round of cash.
