Dems Favor Federal Bailout of Detroit, But Majority of Public Opposed

Quote
A new national poll from Quinnipiac University shows that a majority Democrats believe the federal government should bail out Detroit, but an even larger majority of Americans oppose such a move. Fifty-one percent of Democrats support Washington providing federal assistance to Detroit, which last month became the largest American city ever to seek bankruptcy protection.

Not surprisingly, there is a strong partisan divide on the question of a federal bailout for the Motor City. Seventy-three percent of Republicans oppose a bailout, while only 18 percent support the idea. Independents are nearly of the same mind as Republicans on the issue: 68 percent oppose federal assistance for Detroit and 28 percent support it.

No bailouts for Detroit.

Do it for one city or state, then they will have to do it for every one of them.

I hear that Gary, IN is close.  And who does their mayor call for suggestions?  Daly from Chicago.  Yeah, that place has a great record for quality living.
