In a very anticipated decision in Federal Court downtown this morning, Judge Steven Rhodes ruled that Detroit CAN file for Chapter 9 Bankruptcy.

However, things aren't as cut and dried as they seem on the surface.

And just what might those things be?

Abandonment of core principles.

Oh, and sticking Michigan Taxpayers with a ginormous bill for democratic party led gross malfeasance.

Betcha didn't know about that one? Did ya?

Read on, True Believers!

Things are shaping up nicely.

I imagine that fiscal wreck that is Detroit's finances will right themselves in no time.

After that sea-change event had occurred, the you-know-what hit the fan.

Dependency on government assistance shot up at an exponential rate.

Democratic "leaders" succeeded in polarizing residents based upon race.

The public school system reported an astounding 25% rate. As in the number of students who have successfully graduated. I'm not even going to mention those 25% who cannot even actually read or write, yet were still given a diploma anyway.

People became accustomed to electing corrupt and inept leadership at the school board, city and county level.

Taxes began to creep up. Then they began to pile up on one another.

Those who had the means (read: the producing class), packed their bags and left town. Some just plain skipped the bag packing part and simply left.

Those corrupt and inept elected officials were finding it progressively difficult even managing a simple budget.

Oh, but it gets even better.
