We should be realistic about Detroit. They will never be able to self govern without a massive injection of capital. Through incompetency, entitlement, laziness and corruption, their culture of failure is ingrained.
If you grew up there, went to their schools, adopted their line of thinking, and drank the wine of failure all your life, you would be a loser, too. The suburbs function and make the auto industry work. We don't need Detroit anymore than we need East St. Louis.
Unfortunately, a bunch of people live there and must be fed. Since both cities are virtually all black, let's start the reparations movement there. Give every black citizen 100 grand each, have them sign a statement acknowledging they are no longer eligible for affirmative action, diversity programs, etc., and watch the city bloom!!!
Once Detroit is revived, we can pay reparations to all the other black people in America, and not have to listen to the bullshit about racism anymore.
To pay for it, the Fed can issue reparations bonds, and the descendents of Southern white plantation owners can pay it back through a special tax.
You "fine southern gentlemen" of Kappa Alpha need to work off your debt to society and stop drinking those mint juleps on the veranda, anyway.

Obama is currently not willing to bail them out but I bet he can be convinced.
