A United Nations team of experts said Wednesday that Detroit officials’ decision to shut off water service to thousands of residents who are late in paying bills is an affront to human rights.

“Disconnection of water services because of failure to pay due to lack of means constitutes a violation of the human right to water and other international human rights,” the U.N. officials said in a news release. “Because of a high poverty rate and a high unemployment rate, relatively expensive water bills in Detroit are unaffordable for a significant portion of the population.”

The U.N. assessment comes days after a coalition of welfare rights groups — including the Detroit People’s Water Board, Food and Water Watch and Canada-based Blue Planet Project — pleaded in an open letter for the world body to intervene.

I think they should send in the troops

This is Canada's problem, not ours.

You know what? We should offer the Blue Planet Project the whole city - just take it

We'd probably have to pay them to take it. Especially if that includes the Lions

Do you think they'll take the deal if we offer them 25 cents on the dollar of the full cost of the US Taxpayer bailout that's coming? Or do we have to offer them 50 cents on the dollar?

6.93 cents to the dollar if they take it as is and then leave us the fuck out of everything going forward.

Yep the Ron Reagan economy that created 20 Million new jobs after the Carter recession sure was bad

How is your job search going in this Obama recession?

WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden defended the economic recovery and admitted that the White House never promised high paying jobs.

“We’ve grown and made sure no one got left behind. No one got left behind,” Biden said Wednesday at a jobs event sponsored by the think tank Third Way.

“We didn’t guarantee that every new job was going to be a high-paying job.”

And it ain't gonna happen, Cappy. Places like Detroit, Chicago, etc. are little Afghanistans. Ruled by the local warlords.

Somebody needs to call Omni Consumer Products, tell them to get off their asses and get to work.

F Detriot.

The Democrats have run that city for decades and have come up with ZERO ideas to make it work their way.

Detroit should be the rallying cry for anyone running for office against a Donk: "Here is what you get with Democrats having complete control of a city for decades."

Holder should be investigating the corruption in the Detroit Democratic ranks...but he won't.

Obama should be going to Detroit to ask their residents...his peeps, "What the f*ck are you doing to make your city better?"

Donk response: "People are mindless and helpless...but they need more money to make anything work...but don't tell us what to do...leave that, and any accountability, to us."

What I think is funny is that water is one thing the govt won't subsidize for people. The govt gives money for electric, natural gas, cell phones but not for the one thing you need to live - water.

I wonder how long before we have to start subsidizing that too.
