What happen to when you went BK, you had to sell EVERYTHING to pay off your debts ? Today the corporations and cities can keep their good assets and get rid of what they owe and carry on like nothing happen. We got the "new GM" now we are getting the "new Detroit" but if we tried pulling that, we be lock up for fraud, ugh.

Well, you see some corporations having to bite the bullet now that Detroit is entering bankruptcy. After all, they did loan a city money it couldn't pay back. In other words, they took a risk and the investment failed to yield a return.
