Liberals kill another city. Rode Island town goes bank rupt.

This quote pretty much sums up the problem.

“It’s too bad, because Central Falls has always been a progressive city”.

No. "Ulysses Ortiz, a 50-year old retiree" says it all. Or -- and I love this one -- "The big question on their minds was if another nearby town, like neighboring Pawtucket, or the state itself would take over their city. 'I'd be curious as to who's going to take it over. Someone has to, but no one wants to' " says it all.

Who's going to take it over? Who is going to pay their bills for them? Someone's got to do it. Why aren't they stepping up to the plate and accepting their obligations -- these other cities?

It boggles the mind that "adults" can think this way. Who's going to take it over? Who's going to pay these bills Central Falls has accumulated. Someone's got to do it.

The problem with socialism is you always run out of other people's money (Margaret Thatcher). Looks like the citizens of Central Falls ran out of other people's money in Central Falls and are now casting their eyes to neighboring cities with a view to expropriating their money.

This can get real interesting.....I believe the progressive mantra is 'spare no expense as long as the money's not your own'. Well when they start looking at surrounding towns to bail 'em out, the progressives THERE will squeal a different tune, I think....hehhhe
