How is it that this logic is lost when it comes to cities and corporations that declare bankruptcy? While Detroit may spend a few years having trouble getting good loans I imagine GM (bailed out some years ago) is already able to claim low interest loans. And these are entities that were also bailed out.

I think you answered your own question didn't you? Those companies were 'bailed out'. The government didn't just wipe out their debts by fiat; it gave them money.
