"What really happened to them? They were pretty much a one-industry town, and when they lost that industry, they lost their source of outside money. The people became jobless and needed even more help, but without an income, Detroit had to borrow and borrow, and finally ran out of borrow, while the people’s needs grew. It was not the fault of “liberal policies” and it was not the fault of people who became needy, because they lost their jobs. These people were not sloths looking for freebies. They do not, as Tobin cruelly claims in comparing them to pigs, “have their snouts in the collective trough” — so casually mouthed by someone fortunate enough to have a well-paying job. They are ordinary people, like the people you’ll meet in every town and village in America. So whose fault is Detroit’s predicament? It is the fault of the federal government and the conservative Tea Party heartless agenda, which pushes spending cuts of benefits to the people." mythfighter/2013/07/23/why-detroit-and-jonathan-tobin-both-are-bankrupt/
