Out sourcing jobs starting in the 80's might have had something to do with the Motor City's loss of revenue. Seems I saw a movie about Flint years ago on the auto manufactures leaving town. I just surprised it has taken so long.

Welcome to the club, Mike. Orange county, California went bust some years back due to Republican malfeasance and some of the tender mercies of Enron...
What's the matter? No bootstraps left to pull on in the Motor City?

Was in ground zero for all his moves. Should of retired from GTE Sylvania in Industrial Engineering but no my JOB went to Juarez MX and Puerto Rico! Ahhh yes the eairly 80's the start of the 401K and out sourcing and deregulation. Lest not forget trickle down economics. But what's trickling down your back?

I would go, if for nothing else than to see where some of the best American music ever recorded was made.
Motown, baby!

Why don't you, Mike? Having trouble elucidating your oft stated disdain for the Detroit Democrats today?
