What's "about to hit us" other than unemployment? We can deal with unemployment - turns out, the skills needed to run an assembly line are similar to the skills needed to repair bridges so people don't die during the morning commute, and that sort of investment from the majority at least shows tangible promise of return, including materials etc.

Let's not get overly dramatic here - this is an absolute tragedy for the city of Detroit. That's a fact. Extending anywhere past that is just hyperbole.
I don't think YOU get it.

It's not just unemployment. This is millions of jobs across the country. That's millions of people on the street not spending money at the billions of big business and small business across the country. We can't deal with THAT MUCH unemployment. Michigan can't even deal with it now.
