“Conservatives will, of course, be proven correct that Detroit will be only the first major city to seek a bail-out, but their objections will be fruitless. In fact, it is not only possible, but likely, that, once the concept of ‘No City Left Behind’ transforms public perception of a Detroit from municipal redundancy to humanitarian necessity, the door may be further opened, not only to other major cities, but to entire states. As Rahm Emanuel famously stated, ‘Never let a good crisis go to waste.’ Detroit may be used by the Federal government to establish the necessity to nationalise any crisis.”
