Over the years, there were many efforts made to manage some of those debts but as they were trying to do that, the city continued to borrow money to keep basically the city going. And it's been operating on a deficit basically since 2008 and it's even further crippled by aged computer systems, poor record keeping and just widespread dysfunction in the city.
What does it mean for the US economy as a whole?
Well, you know, Detroit really represented American manufacturing. Of course you had the big three automakers there and it represented a time where you could have a job in manufacturing and live a very good life. And you know, we've been talking about this for a while now, how there's a bit of decline in terms of the middle class, and this in that way is quite symbolic of that.嗯，我们的在纽约的商务记者Samira Hussain给我们带来了更多关于底特律是如何陷入现状的消息。
这些年来，底特律在处理债务上费了很多精力但是当他们努力这么做的时候，这个城市还是继续在借钱来维持基本的城市运作。底特律基本上从2008年起就一直赤字运行，并且，老旧的计算机系统、欠佳的备案和城市中普遍的功能障碍更是使其失去活力。
这个事件对美国经济整体意味着什么？
嗯，就是，底特律过去确实代表了美国的制造业。当然了，底特律曾经有三大汽车制造商，象征着过去在制造业找到工作就能过上很好生活的一个时代。然后你知道的，我们现在讨论这件事也有一会儿了，就中产阶级而言生活质量多少有一点降低，这也是底特律破产影响中较为标志性的事。
