Liberalism's failures turn Detroit into the butt of jokes. Obama's liberal philosophies are doing the same to this nation.

The Failure Of Detroit’s Progressive Agenda  "Today, the city of Detroit is an illustration of the complete failure of Liberalism and the Democrat politicians that embrace the progressive agenda.
"The following links are just a few examples of the complete failure of the liberal (progressive) Democrat agenda." Research material for your next economics class here.

Heritage; Detroit and the Bankruptcy of Liberalism   "Democrats have dominated the city council, and there’s been a Democratic mayor since 1962. One-party government quickly became bad government, featuring a stream of liberal, blue-state policies such as sweet deals for government unions. Now, though, the bill has come due for these liberal policies."

Detroit a Poster Child for Failed Liberalism

Here is a big bunch more it you care to read them.

Taiwan Video Pointedly Mocks Detroit’s Bankruptcy Filing  "DETROIT (CBS Detroit) The city’s bankruptcy filing has put Detroit in the crosshairs of every comedian from Chicago to Chattanooga. And now Taiwan is laughing."

Former Obama Car Czar: Bail Out Detroit  "In a Friday op-ed for the New York Times, Rattner writes, “neither the state nor the federal government has evinced any inclination to provide meaningful financial assistance. That’s a mistake. No one likes bailouts or the prospect of rewarding Detroit’s historic fiscal mismanagement. But apart from voting in elections, the 700,000 remaining residents of the Motor City are no more responsible for Detroit’s problems than were the victims of Hurricane Sandy for theirs, and eventually Congress decided to help them.” "

Detroit: Organized for failure  "Read these descriptions of the structure of city government in Detroit.   I find it a bit reminiscent of the bloated  organization charts that were in place in the American auto industry during the era when it foisted cars such as the Pinto, its big brother the Mustang II, the Gremlin and the Vega -- to name just a few -- upon consumers."
