Stanek Sunday funnies, “Detroit” edition
On July 18 the City of Detroit filed “for the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history,” quoting Fox. Political cartoonists had something to say about this avoidable tragedy. Vote for your fav in the poll at the bottom of the post!

I voted for #2 because I’m amazed at the way that the crash test dummies manage to look cute and creepy at the same time.
Good article on Detroit and why it went bankrupt (a tale of corruption, over-spending, and declining tax base…)

lol @ #4. Because OBAMA killed Detroit. Please. My parents both grew up in Detroit, my grandparents lived there all their lives, and many of my aunts and uncles still live there; the city’s problems are way bigger and way older than anything Obama could or couldn’t do.
Alexandra, you just don’t understand. Obama killed Detroit. He assassinated the Kennedy’s. He personally caused the Haiti earthquake and Lucifer never would have rebelled against God if it weren’t for Obama. Trufacts.
Hands up all thos who own cars made outside the US.
Hands up all thos whose parents owned cars made outside the US back in the 1960’s.
Hands up all those who still wonder why mobs like walmart think workers should be happy to be paid the same rate as a Bangladeshi garment worker.
Are you applying for a job as a headline writer for the WorldNutDaily Jack?
Lol I actually wouldn’t be surprised at all if they ran an article about, like the Black Plague and how Obama’s ancestors (the African side, of course) actually deliberately set it up just so he could steal the Presidential office 700 years later!!!
and did you know he travelled back in time and gave the japanese the coordinates for pearl harbor?!?!?
who really shot JR?
Obama knows where Jimmy Hoffa is buried, of course he does, he put him there!
Obama caused the collapse of the Roman Empire.
Do you know what started the genocide against the Native Americans? Obama whispering in Cortez and Columbus’ ears.
Lol the song “Sympathy for the Devil” was actually Obama’s first autobiography!! Of course he went on to write three more haha.
and you’re never going to be able to produce a ‘legitimate’ birth certificate if you haven’t actually been born of a human!
Har dee har har. You can’t escape the fact that Obama has presided over the worst “recovery” EVAH! Five years and not ONE robust quarter of growth. Forget about having that one Reagan quarter of 10%+. How about one of an average three or four percent? Is this just coincidence? Bad luck?
Ex-GOP, I can’t imagine why Detroit has a diminishing tax base. Your Party has things so under control!
Come on Hans, show some committment. Where’s the comparison with post world war one economic impacts and outcomes? Then your claims could be even more irrelevant.
Are you trying to credit Wilson’s World War for the Roaring Twenties, not Harding and Coolidge?
You really think reaching back to Reagan as an example of economic recovery is pushing it? It’s not exactly ancient history. What Carter left him is analogous to what Bush allowed Dodd and Frank to leave Obama. So where’s the beef, Mr. O?
Given the difference between reagan era republicans and the gop as it exists today along with its associated policies and economic ‘principles’ you might as well use the bronze age as a comparison.
Oh yes, these terrible hardline Republicans. They stopped Obamacare, slashed taxes and spending, hammered out true tax reform.
Oh wait, that was only in my dreams.
“Oh wait, that was only in my dreams” – you had room for that one as well?!?
Your comebacks would really be funnier if they weren’t so oblique. Was I dreaming the Reagan Recovery? Or the Obama Non-Recovery?
You’re the one telling the story! You said that the republicans having stopped Obamacare, slashed taxes and spending, hammered out true tax reform was only in your dreams (even though we all know that would be a nightmare).
“Or the Obama Non-Recovery?” – well this one is obviously another dream of yours.

At least you know where you’re going wrong Hans :-)
And you’re doing some research! Very good, I’m impressed.
Oh, we’re all at that crossroads most of the time.
Watch out, I bookmarked a half dozen more! ;)
“Oh, we’re all at that crossroads most of the time.” – some more often than others I see :-)
I can’t wait!

corruption, over-spending, and declining tax base…)
[these three items are part and parcel of repeatedly failed progressive/liberal/humanist attempts to control human nature, instead of finding ways to harness it to stimulate economic growth.]
I think the whole story is pretty sad. People are going to lose their jobs and city workers who paid for years into their pensions are not going to get them.
I keep on hearing about greedy union members but I am a union member (AFSCME) and we havent had a raise in FOUR YEARS. I am glad to have a job if course but I just manage to scrape by and its just me and the cats. People with children are really suffering. Republicans like to demonize unions and some are corrupt but if it wasnt for them we wouldnt of had an end to child labor, safety regulations in the workplace, or even the 40 hour work week.
