city. a michigan state senator has a bold plan to dissolve the city of detroit and rolling it into the countyate. michigan state senator rick jones joins us. he representing that state's 24th district just west of lansing. is this a real plan or are you making a point about the m miserable fiscal state of detroit? >> i'm making a point the governor or even the mayor fail to right the ship they're spending like there is no tomorrow. there is no control. the taxpayers i represent will not bail out detroit. as they teeter on bankruptcy, we have to look at all options. put all options on the table. one could be dissolving the city of detroit. >> is it true -- is it true that the city council -- in as much dire condition as the city is in -- was asked to meet and they said, sorry, we're on holiday break? >> absolutely. the mayor asked them to come in and look at the governor's plan and get ready to save the city. "sorry, we're on holiday." it's ridiculous. it'sdysfunctional. if they don't save their own city, it may be time to look at dissolving it. >> what would that mean? would that mean that th

some of these other cities we have on the top 10 list are not the ones that would come to mind. places like warren, michiganhose aren't really military towns. we want to give people the most actionable starting point to make sure the second chapter is as rewarding as the first was. >> you talked about this age group we're talking about but fill us in on the roadblocks that communist. the real challenges that face these young men and women. what are the roadblocks this group is looking at? >> they are very unique to the post 9/11 war fighters. they have done 4 and 5 tours to places like iraq and afghanistan. so these guys and girls have done the hard work that we've asked of them. and that forced them to focus in ways that are intense. if you are manning a post in afghanistan or driving a vehicle through ied infested roads, you don't have time to think about next chapter of my life. now that they are coming back a father and husband again and thinking about what else could i do besides fight the nation's wars? those challenges are extreme and again, usa and military.com want to make sure we assist them in wa

my name is jack shingle from traverse city, michigan.ng exchange with ambassador newman in foreign affairs about afghanistan, you make a very strong case that we need a political transition in 2014. but what i don't see in any of the writings on this subject is why we need two more years of combat operations and deaths to american soldiers and allied soldiers during that period. don't see our soldiers are making headway other than training afghans which more or less is working and i don't see that the they're actually going backwards. so why don't we stand down earlier and just continue the training and stop the combat operations. >> ok, thank you very much. >> i wish we could but i don't think we can. i think there are three things that our military is doing that need to be done. one is, you know, you can't train an afghanistan army if you're throwing them into the front line and putting neem combat before they're ready. so it takes time to train a force and get them to the point to take responsibility for security. secondly, there's a

. >> jack segal from travers city, michigan. first of all, this is great. it's like watching -- [inaudible] without the screen. three dimensional. [laughter] i'd like to go back to the issue of sequestration and jobs because if you look at the web site, let's say, of senator levin, he justifies the large defense budget on the basis of the need for jobs. and that concerns me, that we will not get to the kind of economy that you're saying that we really have to get to if we're going to try to preserve jobs by building humvees in michigan. is there, is there a way out of this conundrum? can we work our way over the next four years out of depending on a inflated defense budget for the jobs stability? >> okay, great question. >> so i guess what -- i agree with you, i guess, up to a point anyway in the sense that it is, one of the things that government does not do, one of the many things government does not do well is distinguish between different kinds of spending and what impact they have on the economy. the government does not keep its books in any way that r

city of detroit's days numbered? my next guest certainly thinks so. joining me michigantor rick jones with his ideas solving detroit's financial woes, one which would bring the city to an end. to give our audience background, detroit is having serious financial problems. they can't meet any of their financial obligations. they're depending on funds from the state. the next wrinkle they were supposed to approve a contract with a law firm to help them reorganize and they rejected that. where does it leave them? >> that leaves them on the brink of bankruptcy. what we're asking them to do start working with the governor, state of michigan, to save the city of detroit. if they go through a federal bankruptcy it will be horrible. vultures will come in and pick up the jewels of detroit. cobo hall, belle isle. detroit institute of arts could be in danger under a federal judge. melissa: why do you think, these are the milestones. there are a series of milestones they have to hit in order to get this money released from the state. they were supposed to get this contract in order a
