There is more technology, knowledge and production than people who can serve it. Mr. Market won't be able to bridge this gap, i.e. not without turning into the worst killer ever to be known. Do you really want this to happen? Nice idea as how to create a new city but stone age is long gone. There is more technology, knowledge and production than people who can serve it.

And somehow, private charities, families, and friends, took care of those who couldn't take care of themselves? Hey, Larry

Did you happen to notice in your reading of ancient history (like before 1913 or thereabouts) that government safety nets didn’t exist?

And somehow, private charities, families, and friends, took care of those who couldn’t take care of themselves?

His war crimes trials hopefully to follow. Regarding the plan for Detroit, Bush was busy trying this model out on the entire country but he was discredited and thrown out.

Truth is people make things, not government. People sell things and earn money, not goevernment. Giveaways give away autonomy, production, capability and innovation. What have are too many fat seagulls, waiting for a handout, and not enough owls, pelicans and hawks, ready to swoop in on opportunity and feed themselves. Silly analogy on my part, great article on yours! Thanks. Love the save Detroit idea – even if a bit dramatic.

This person is just not with it mentally. I have a major problem with your prescription that would just let this poor soul fend for themselves.

First things first: Can I get an AMEN on the solution for Detroit. This is a city run by power hungry, selfish, chip on their shoulder bureaucrat and inhabited by those who vote for them (and don't know any better). However, we do have our fair share of amenities. My name is Jason and I am the former “boy toy” of a mutual friend Rita Smith (outstanding women). Bill I would like to offer you and your wife a weekend in Detroit on me. I will put you up at the Detroit Athletic Club, link below and you can see for yourself. http://www.thedac.com/public/ Good Morning from Detroit.

The only place money should come before work is in the dictionary unfortunately for the last 50 years in many places that is not the way it has been.
