Your own hometown may be dissolved??

If this is true, they're not even being subtle about it anymore.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Financial czars arbitrarily invalidating contracts? Sounds like it'll get crushed in the courts."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

Why is Snyder doing this? Let it all burn. This is what centralization and wealth redistribution brings. This entire experiment was doomed from it's inception. Eventually, the treasuries of both the states and the federal government will be raided by special interests, which the founding fathers prophesied. That's what is transpiring. We have the labor parasites. The defense contractors. The lawyers. The wall street cabal. It's an simply unsustainable system.

This move is literally right out of the Shock Doctrine textbook, as is the move in Wisconsin. It's really eerie seeing these things acted out in my own country right now.
Hell, it reminds me of Senator Palpatine's move, lol.
