Detroit is too conservative. They need to stop listening to baggers and increase government spending to get them out of this slump.

I'm more of a "tax and save" kind of guy right now. And while I despise public-sector unions, isn't a pension a portion of their salary set aside for later? Or am I thinking of something completely different?

But bank savings are loaned to businesses and consumers, who use the credit to invest in capital and buy things, leading to jobs and income.
