Looks like Michigan may beat California and Illinois in the Great Whitewater Rafting Race down the financial toilet bowl. The Detroit News reports: “State education officials have ordered Robert Bobb to immediately implement a financial restructuring plan that balances the district’s books by closing half of its schools, swelling high school class sizes to 60 students and consolidating operations. This week, Bobb, the district’s emergency financial manager, said he is meeting with Detroit city officials and will set up a meeting with Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency to discuss consolidation opportunities in areas such as finance, public safety, transportation and other areas. Bobb also is preparing a list of recommended school closures and Friday said layoff discussions are under way and would be announced closer to April, when notices would be issued.”

It really doesn’t matter if this happens in Detroit, since Detroit is all black and part of the Third World. It doesn’t matter whether you have 20, 40, or 60 garden variety blacks in a classroom. None of them are going to learn anything anyway.

What’s interesting is that what is happening in Detroit is now beginning to happen elsewhere around the country, finally. These huge Democrat-run cities and states are beginning to just plain run out of money. As in there isn’t any more.

At what point will the financially collapsing blue states turn to Obama and demand he cobble together some plan to take money from the Red states which still are financially solvent, like Virginia and Texas, in order to pay for their massive minority handouts and bloated civil service union pensions? California has been begging the Feds for money already. The liberals don’t want states choosing between bankruptcy and slashing pay to the state union workers (or -gasp- deporting the illegal aliens).
