Default Motor City is bankrupt
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/c...,6170774.story

Quote:
"Detroit simply cannot raise enough revenue to meet its current obligations, and that is a situation that is only projected to get worse absent a bankruptcy filing," wrote Snyder, a Republican, in a letter accompanying the filing.

Detroit's creditors are expected to face huge losses, and the future of retiree pension and health benefits for thousands of city workers hangs in the balance.

Anticipating the filing on Thursday, investors drove prices of Detroit bonds and notes lower, sending their yields to record highs on Thursday.

This is one of the more shameful things I've ever witnessed.

It's not like they didn't know it was coming for the last 30 years. But they kept up their grossly irresponsible behavior.

Same thing happening to the country, I'm afraid.

Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” Thomas Jefferson
