Submitted by Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse blog, Eventually the money runs out. Much of America was shocked when the city of Detroit defaulted on a $39.7 million debt payment and announced that it was suspending payments on $2.5 billion of unsecured debt, but those who visit my site on a regular basis were probably not too surprised. Anyone with half a brain and a calculator could see this coming from a mile away. But people kept foolishly lending money to the city of Detroit, and now many of them are going to get hit really hard. Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr has submitted a proposal that would pay unsecured creditors about 10 cents on the dollar. Similar haircuts would be made to underfunded pension and health benefits for retirees. Orr is hoping that the creditors and the unions that he will be negotiating with will accept this package, but he concedes that there is still a "50-50 chance" that the city of Detroit will be forced to formally file for bankruptcy. But what Detroit is facing is not really that unique. In fact, Detroit is a perfect example of what the future of America is going to look like. We live in a nation that is rotting, decaying, drowning in debt and racing toward insolvency. Already there are dozens of other cities across the nation that are poverty-ridden, crime-infested hellholes just like Detroit is, and hundreds of other communities are rapidly heading in that direction. So don't look down on Detroit. They just got there before the rest of us. The following are some facts about Detroit that are absolutely mind-blowing... 1 - Detroit was once the fourth-largest city in the United States, and in 1960 Detroit had the highest per-capita income in the entire nation. 2 - Over the past 60 years, the population of Detroit has fallen by 63 percent. 3 - At this point, approximately 40 percent of all the streetlights in the city don't work. 4 - Some ambulances in the city of Detroit have been used for so long that they have more than 250,000 miles on them. 5 - 210 of the 317 public parks in the city of Detroit have been permanently closed down. 6 - According to the New York Times, there are now approximately 70,000 abandoned buildings in Detroit. 7 - Approximately one-third of Detroit's 140 square miles is either vacant or derelict. 8 - Less than half of the residents of Detroit over the age of 16 are working at this point. 9 - If you can believe it, 60 percent of all children in the city of Detroit are living in poverty. 10 - According to one very shocking report, 47 percent of the residents of Detroit are functionally illiterate. 11 - Today, police solve less than 10 percent of the crimes that are committed in Detroit. 12 - Ten years ago, there were approximately 5,000 police officers in the city of Detroit. Today, there are only about 2,500 and another 100 are scheduled to be eliminated from the force soon. 13 - Due to budget cutbacks, most police stations in Detroit are now closed to the public for 16 hours a day. 14 - The murder rate in Detroit is 11 times higher than it is in New York City. 15 - Crime has gotten so bad in Detroit that even the police are telling people to "enter Detroit at your own risk". 16 - Right now, the city of Detroit is facing $20 billion in debt and unfunded liabilities. That breaks down to more than $25,000 per resident. As Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr noted last week, it took a very long time for Detroit to get into this condition... “What the average Detroiter needs to understand is that where we are right now is a culmination of years and years and years of kicking the can down the road,” said Orr, adding that his proposal should not be seen as a “hostile act” but as a step in the right direction. Does that sound familiar? It should. U.S. politicians have also been kicking the can down the road for "years and years and years". But eventually you can't kick the can down the road anymore. Sometimes it is helpful to step back and look

Hello blog friends! If you follow me on instagram or twitter you're probably already aware of this: I recently spent a week in New York City! It was part work, part vacation, and utterly awesome. It was my first time there, but I doubt it will be my last. We're already trying to figure out when we can possibly go back!So this post is basically a photo explosion of my trip to NYC. I didn't draw a single thing while I was there. I think it's important to put down the drawing utensil sometimes, and just be a person, and have some experiences. Goodness knows there's enough to see and do in New York to keep your brain occupied. First thing: we took the red eye from LA (Burbank, actually) to JFK. When we arrived we needed a nap and coffee. Since we stayed at the Ace Hotel there was a constant stream of Stumptown coffee available, and we are BIG fans of that stuff, so from this first cup onward we were basically just constantly caffeinated.We took a buggy ride in Central Park! It was expensive but cool.We did as much and as many touristy things as we could do, but we still didn't see it all. We saved some stuff for next time! I loved the ceiling of Grand Central Station.Sean was really excited about this library because it's in Ghostbusters. FYI: most of what we knew about New York previous to actually visiting was from movies. ...at the Saks Fifth Avenue that is actually ON Fifth Avenue! The first day we were there it was HOT and humid, and after walking around we ducked into Saks to drink iced tea upstairs and enjoy their complimentary air conditioning.LIZ LEMONBut really...Rockefeller Center was super beautiful. I was deeply impressed by Zoltar at FAO Schwartz, having watched BIG about 5,000 times.We went to Central Park several times, but didn't see the whole park. Not by a long shot....spent some time by the Conservatory Water so Sean could play with the remote control sail boats.Ah yes I ruined these sneakers. They are cheapos from Urban Outfitters, they don't have a long lifespan anyway, but they are ruined.Yes we ate bagels! Somewhere in my brain I knew better than to ask for it to be toasted, but the lady behind me did NOT know this, and so got a good talking to by the cashier. "Yo, we don't DO that. Our bagels are baked fresh every day! We don't even HAVE a toaster!!"At pizza at Lombardi's in Little Italy. It was pretty magical.We found ourselves in Dean and Deluca one afternoon. I love it there. Some friends of ours recommended this hot dot place. I'm a vegetarian, so I didn't have one, but I DID enjoy their over the top fruit decorations....and exuberant signage.Here's the work part of my adventures: I got to visit the publishers that I'm working with right now! This is my visitor badge from Scholastic, and their amazing carpet which has their mission statement weaved right into it. SO cool. I met up with the art director and book designer for a book I'm illustrating (to be announced!), and we had lunch and actually got to talk in person. This is an odd side effect of being a freelance artist: often your 'co-workers' are remote, and even though you e-mail or talk on the phone, there's nothing that compares to meeting in person. My feeling is that that experience was super important...another reason I'd like to go back!...well it WAS my vacation sort of, so I had my fair share of tasty drinks. This is the lobby of Random House (doing a book with them too!), which was AMAZING. It's wall to wall books, on these cool shelves. Super impressive in person. I don't think the photo does it justice at all....and lunch with Random House folks! That's my agent Kirsten (who I also met in person for the first time on this trip), editor, book designer and me. I'm glad that Kirsten was friendly and thoughtful enough to get someone to take this picture...it was a lunch worth commemorating. Oh yeah, and more fooling around in Central Park. I made Sean paddle me around in a boat. How could we NOT?!GROS

Today only, Amazon has book 1 of the Nate Rocks Books  for free download. Nate Rocks the World Kindle Book Fifth grade has plenty of perks. Oh sure, there’s more work, and Nathan still has to put up with that know-it-all, Lisa Crane. Lucky for Nathan, there is a lot to look forward to as well: a laser tag birthday party, baseball at recess, and even a cool Halloween dance. Of course, all of that means nothing without the biggest perk of all … the class trip to New York City in the spring. If his class can raise enough money to go, that is.
