A great deal in the news about the water quality crisis in this city. This really is a microcosm of the entire United States, only the US can print money and Flint cannot. This looks to have started due to a cost cutting measure to help the city's trouble finances. This is like many cities who have legacy costs they cannot meet and keep basic services for their citizens. The economy and stock market have been sustained by out of control government spending that has to end sometime. When it does the Flint Michigans are going to come fast and furious. Maybe this November we will elect politians that will make us make the tough decisions, but I doubt it.
