Short of An Act of God, Detroit's bankruptcy will be going through.

Pensioners WILL be taking a haircut.

Investors will be lucky to be getting pennies on the dollar.

Assets will be ordered sold (i.e. DIA Collection, Water Dept., etc.)

Now I don't know if anyone thought differently, but none of the city retirees I've spoken with have indicated that they have voted for anyone with a "-r" after their name.

Ever.

If I were an investment firm, I wouldn't making any donations in the future to any politician, or anyone associated with a politician, that had cost me some serious coin.

That leaves us with most rationale target: The Detroit Fire Sale.
