Detroit Mayor David Bing On His Battle With Public Employee Unions: 'Either they can't read, they can't add or they can't comprehend'
An excellent series of articles on former NBA great Dave Bing, now Detroit Mayor, as he struggles to remake the dying city. His battle with spoiled and stubborn public-employee unions demonstrates the insanity and corruption that exists everywhere. It's an epidemic of budget-busting promises to public employees and lavish pensions at taxpayers' expense. Time to bust contracts.
Detroit mayor Dave Bing says the city plans to encourage residents to move from some neighborhoods:
- "If they stay where they are I absolutely cannot give them all the services they require."
- "Either they can't read, they can't add or they can't comprehend," Bing said at a press conference this morning in his office at City Hall. "It has to be one of the three.
- "Everyone is running with a deficit in their budgets. It's leadership or a lack of leadership that has got us to where we are."

as far as i am concerned everyone in Washington are a bunch of Satanists.
Have you seen the pentagram that lies in the architecture of the Washington DC?
Communists bust contracts. I hear this being said all the time now. Once we start to bust contracts, you can be assured that capitalism will collapse. If you don't like the contracts, then get rid of the people who agreed to them. When the contract expires renegotiate it, but cancelling a contract will have massive problems.
An NBA player calling someone else greedy is like Hitler calling the Jews a bunch of murderers.

Following the $6.4 billion U.S. arms sale to Taiwan in January, some members of the Chinese military have advocated using China's considerable U.S. Treasury bond holdings as a weapon to retaliate against America. In a recent article in Chinese magazine Outlook Weekly, senior army officers at China's military university called for a stern response to the arms sale, stating that "we could sanction [the U.S.] using economic means, such as dumping some U.S. government bonds."
