The teabag Republicans who run the Michigan legislature and their catspaw stooge Snyder in the governor's chair have made no bones of their plan to drive the city of Detroit into bankruptcy and cut the city off cold without a dime of state funding.

However the Lansing Taliban is fine on spending hundreds of millions of tax money on a new hockey arena for the Detroit Red Wings:
