Actually it’s a majority in-the-red city.

That's also very true. It's been an incredibly poorly run city for years, but the fact of the matter is what happened there (and in other Michigan cities) was incredibly undemocratic; and letting major American cities decay and fail isn't an option. There are many initiatives going on in Detroit in an attempt to bring the city back, but it's going to take input from all fronts (private sector, city, state, and federal).

My initial point still stands - right-wingers defend massive tax giveaways to private corporations, but are outraged at federal support to revive a struggling (majority-minority) city. I'm on record many times over stating that bigotry and racism have a comfortable home in right-wing politics, and this yet another example.

That's BS. We moaned and groaned about all the bail outs, including the auto and bank industries.
