Thanks to an honest Judge, Ingham
County’s Rosemarie Aquilina, the Detroit Bankruptcy crisis has received a
message of truth which the people of Detroit, the State of Michigan and the
rest of the country should heed if we are to save Detroit and the States of
this Union.
Judge Aquilina has ruled that the
bankruptcy of Detroit violates the Michigan Constitution. Furthermore Judge
Aauilina has stated that President Obama should "Bail Out Detroit".
Judge Aquilina’s courageous message
is exactly what the people of this nation must demand if we are to free
ourselves from enslavement and murder by the blind actuarial forces of Wall
Street austerity.
In the first instance, the question
of the legality of this bankruptcy action should be understood from the intent
of the United States Constitution. The simple issue is this: The intent of the
U.S. Constitution is that the government uphold the “General Welfare.” What
should be plainly obvious, and will be when people start to understand how to
use the Constitution, is that this bankruptcy is in no way of help to the
general welfare of Detroit, Michigan or the rest of the country. What this
bankruptcy and the attendant austerity cuts against the people of the city are
really about is to service debts to Wall Street, much of which represent
service fees and interest payments, that make private firms rich to speculate
another day while people die.
This issue needs to be understood by
President Obama immediately. The President's duty is to promote the General
Welfare, and not turn the nation over to Wall Street loan sharks to loot and
beat up. The problem is that we do not have a President in this country.
