Detroit’s City Pensioners Are Wiped Out.

“This is the thing about impossible obligations. They get abandoned. This confirms economist Herbert Stein’s law: ‘When things can’t go on, they have a tendency to stop.’ A year ago, the experts denied that anything was wrong. Yes, there were ‘problems,’ but nothing that could not be fixed. ‘Bankruptcy? Are you serious? Of course not. There is no possibility of that. Such talk is inflammatory. Perish the thought.’ That’s what politicians always say . . . right up to the end. The pensioners will have to go back to work. They will be covered by Medicare only. They believed the politicians. They invested their working years in terms of promises made by politicians.”
