Michigan Governor Rick Snyder declared Detroit to be in a state of emergency on Friday and said he would appoint an outside manager to help turn around its dire finances, which include $14B in long-term liabilities. City officials have ten days to persuade Snyder to change his mind. Should he uphold his decision, it would be the latest step in attempts to prevent Detroit filing what would be the biggest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. [View news story]

Growth in China's services industries declined to its slowest pace in five months in February, with non-manufacturing PMI decelerating to 54.5 from 56.2 in January, hurt by a fall in new orders.

China "is" but not "has always been" and are projecting "will be" South American/African "driven" to offset doubleplus ungooding of western purchasing power. All Ministry of Plenty economic predictions are verifiable. (Editorial suggestions from Winston Smith, Ministry of Truth.)

But Romney lied about Jeep moving production to China. Oh, never mind, that thought is so 2012. Not to mention racist, sexist, bigoted and homophobic. Sorry Thought Police, what was I thinking? All praise Dear Leader. Forward!
President Obama is due to meet with Congressional leaders today to discuss the $85B of automatic spending cuts that are due to take effect at 11.59 pm tonight - on the by now fairly strong assumption the sides don't find a way to delay the reductions once more.
