Detroit's road to ruin was well known for many years, yet no elected official could ever make the tough decisions to cut back spending and/or find a way to attract businesses. As a result, now it's "game over" for what used to be one of our finest cities.

My question ... is Detroit a preview of coming attractions for other entities that are also bankrupt ... eg State of Illinois is one that comes to mind.
