still with me is lee saunders from the afscme union, and dean baker, co-director for the center of economic policy research. dean, you've been seeing this ever since detroit filed, before it filed, that detroit is everything wrong with liberal governance. if they give everything out in handouts and public sector unions getting exorbitant contracts that you bankrupt the city eventually, you chase out all the makers, leave just behind the takers. what do you think about that? >> just about every part of that is wrong. let me back up a second, though, to pick up on one of the points lee made. this is a contractual obligation. i just find it kind of striking here because there's such a selectivity about how we view the contracts. you might remember back when aig was bankrupt. there was a big issue they had these bonuses for their top people. hundreds of thousands of dollars per person. and we ended up paying them because we got lectures including from people in the obama administration about the sanctity of contracts. well, here you have contracts with workers guaranteed by the state constituti
