Robert Reich was the Secretary of Labor under President B.J. Clinton, a candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, an executive at Goldman Sachs (which is pretty much a Democrat bribery mill), and currently draws a salary of almost a quarter mil for teaching a single class at UC-Berkeley. He has also figured out why Detroit went bankrupt, and it has nothing to do with fifty years of corrupt Democrat politicians enacting precisely the progressive policies Reich advocates.
Detroit is really a model for how wealthier and whiter Americans escape the costs of public goods they would otherwise share with poorer and darker Americans.
Are Detroit, its public employees, poor residents and bondholders the only ones who should sacrifice when Detroit proper can’t pay its bills? Or does the relevant sphere of responsibility include Detroit’s affluent suburbs — to which many of the city’s wealthier resident fled as the city declined, along with the banks that serve them?
In other words, people who manage their communities efficiently and promote sound economic policies should subsidize the incompetence, corruption, and anti-business policies of people who don’t.
White and Asians contribute to society so they don’t have a net cost, the link I posted of a “refugee” squatmonster costing a Swiss town over$65,000 a month, which is 1/3 of their budget shows the reality of this.

I don’t want to live around a large number of black or hispanic people because their neighborhoods tend to be run down and full of crime. It is just coincidental that the color of their skin is why I reside in upper middle class areas of town.
This is the insane meglomania and narcisism of the progressive, socialist, left. When their policies don’t work, it’s never because of their policies, it’s because someone else didn’t lay down and let the government steal their earnings and give them to someone else for no other reasons that one has it and the other doesn’t.
They never learn. This is why it is senseless to debate them. They must be defeated.
So, when will Reich be moving to Detroit? Oakland? Ferguson?
As Detroit collapses, its vermin are moving out into other places. You can track the increase in the crime rate to wherever the vermin from Detroit are moving.
I’m curious just how many wealthy white democrats are living in Detroit, and how many of them that do send their kids to a private school.
For whatever reason it’s always somebody else’s fault when liberal policies don’t work out.
Let me get this straight. Tax payers and wage earners looked at Detroit going down for the count and they left for places where their future was brighter. Detroit continued to crumble. And that
oops – and that is because of great management on the part of Detroit?
Having been mugged twice by groups of Black young men, I stay away and feel much safer doing so.
After one of the muggings the NYC police told me it would be useless to bother to identify the muggers since Mayor Dinkins’ policies were to let them go after booking.
fortdixmike, Mayor Dinkins’ was disliked even by other Democrats, such as Mayor Koch, who was one of the best mayors NYC had. Yeah, he was a Democrat too, but he was a realist and understood that you can’t let stuff like that happen. Dinkins was the reason Giuliani was elected, and was a better mayor than either of his two predecessors. The two that followed him….well, you can see the direction the city is going again.
I grew up in a town so white people would leave their cars running when they went into convince stores. So I believed the equalism preached in school enough that I didn’t look around for packs of blacks when using the ATM machine when I moved away.
Luckily my Asian sensei in high school gave me the best advice that I didn’t believe at the time. He said “if you are ever attacked by a pack of blacks the most important thing is to move off the X. If you have only spared with Asians & whites you will not realize how they get in each others way.” It turns out that spatial orientation (the part with 3-d images) is the part of IQ tests that blacks do the worse on. So the first time I was attacked by a pack of blacks at an ATM while unarmed, I managed to win with only getting a black eye, and they cried to cops that I fought dirty in a 5 vs.1 fight. The trick to identifying attackers is to make sure you give identifiable injuries. You should of course be armed if possible.
If you cant conceal carry you can buy pens made of titanium and get these cool reflectors for your shoes so that oncoming cars can see you better http://kubajitsu.com/kubakickz.html
Craig Smith: Met Mayor Koch at one of the Gay Pride events. Koch was a very good mayor and a very funny guy.
