Wow. Since when has Detroit been run by Republicans?
.
The good citizens of Detroit elected their last Republican Mayor in 1957. It's clearly "Republican policy" that has brought the downfall of Detroit. List of Detroit Mayors
I find it interesting how easy it is for Cons to attack retirees and elderly people and want to take away money that was suppose to be set aside for their years of employment. I understand that Detroit is bankrupt, but it should then be Michigan's responsibility to cover what their cities owe to their retirees.

And do you tthink bank robbers should be entitled to their loot later in life?

Oh good, now you are comparing elderly and retirees to bank robbers. Why not start executing people once they hit a certain age, that would solve all our problems.

The City of Detroit has known for at least 15 years that this day was coming. Most cities in similar circumstances renegotiated with the unions to correct the problem. Politicians in Detroit are under the union's thumb so therefore didn't address it (plus the unions refused to renegotiate).
They've got no one to blame except each other. They shouldn't expect anyone to bail them out.
Those pensioners should be blaming their own unions (who actually put the politicians in office) for the possibility of getting zero as opposed to a lesser amount.
