Again, I'm not sure anyone here is saying that the citizens of Detroit "deserve" what has happened. I look at the Detroit (and Detroit-area) citizens as, for the most part, victims in this whole thing. This all has come about because of greedy executives, union heads, and political entities, each of whom operated in a way that was doomed to fail at some point. Unfortunately, the people who are bearing the brunt of this are people who had no responsibility for the bad decisions in the first place.

It's a nasty situation.
Thank you. I agree with your post. Except, Kevin did say say Detroit deserved it.
