Marathon Pundit: Detroit News: Bankruptcy a rebuke of the "alliance of the Democratic Party and public-sector unions"

There's a lesson in yesterday's bankruptcy filing of Detroit for Illinois and California.

From the Detroit News:

The filing also is a stunning rebuke of the city’s political class and 50 years of control by a co-dependent alliance of the Democratic Party and public-sector unions whose leaders fueled their campaigns and political needs with public dollars. In the end, their circular self-dealing and refusal to act to avert collapse exposed the people they claim to represent.
