Who knew? Chicago is a successful laborabory of Democratic Party "ideas" that should be emulated around the nation! /s

“While infrastructure improvements have been neglected on a federal level for decades, Chicago is making one of the nation’s largest coordinated investments, putting 30,000 residents to work over the next three years improving our roads, rails and runways; repairing our aged water system; and increasing access to gigabit-speed broadband.”

Last time I looked, Chicago and Illinois were broke and driving business into nearby states and other countries, not to mention that “murder capital” business...

education and physical infrastructure.

RATS have been spewing about this for the past 50 years or more. It should've been perfected by now.

Next up - Commiecare™. We get to hear about it until the end of time.

OK. So, stop talking and start rebuilding! But when Step One is always, “Tear down the successful while building up the lazy”, I think that you are doomed to fail.

Its like coming into a neighborhood to revitalize it and and you start by bulldozing the nice houses on the street and leaving the crack houses standing.

Rahm plans to use "public money" taken from taxpayers as taxes to complete these infrastructure upgrades.

But that is eaxctly BACKWARDS. To do this you have to first RE-INDUSTRIALIZE America. (something Obama is against, because his goal is the opposite of success for America). Only by re-industrializing, employing, trading, building, etc can the needed taxes be generated to do what he wants without further bankrupting the public treasury. In short, we have to return to CAPITALISM even though democrats have made it into a dirty word. CAPITALISM is the economic system that built the America that (fool) Obama wants to destroy.

President Obama and the Democratic Party earned the support of key groups — young people, single women, Latinos, African Americans, auto workers in the Rust Belt and millions of other middle-class Americans — because of our ideas.

But mostly because we give them free shit: phones, housing, food, childcare, transportation, cash, etc.

[Da Coyote]

Of Rohm, the Obamadork, Nancy the Ignorant s**t, and Whore House Harry got together and thought for a googol of years, they still wouldn’t be able to come up with an idea.

Ideas are for folks with brains.

“President Obama and the Democratic Party earned the support of key groups — young people, single women, Latinos, African Americans, auto workers in the Rust Belt and millions of other middle-class Americans — because of our ideas.”

Children, welfare queens, illegals, american Africans, union thugs, and a few assorted radical liberal/communists thrown in for good measure.

There is nothing in this year’s election returns that guarantees Democrats a permanent majority in the years to come...

...oh yes there are...its called the 47% who do not monetarily support the US.

If 47% is the"accepted" number, it has to be a lot higher, which was proven by this election. The "producers" were overwhelmed by the "takers" and its likely that this will be the "norm" until the crash.

D's are the party of welfare, and free stuff..

...the 47% don't want to hear all the self sufficiency, hard work, self sacrifice, and living with honor krap...they want FREE STUFF, THEY WANT IT NOW, & they ain't about to give it up.

"One man one vote" has sunk us in Federal elections. We will never get out from under socialism until we can tie a valid vote to a positive monetary contribution to the US treasury...

....or of course, the tax system changes so that EVERY HEALTHY AMERICAN pays something.

“Mayor Murder Capitol” speaks.

[unixfox]

Democrats should champion these kinds of innovative financing tools at a national level.

Paid for of course by evil rich WHITE REPUBLICANS!

[popdonnelly]

It’s time to channel more Federal dough to Obama supporters.

[andyk]

Frankly, I’m tired of all the infrastructure and road work in Boise. Can we get a year off without flaggers and orange cones, please?

The line that scares me is this one:

By embracing the president’s “all of the above” strategy, Democrats can own the policies that will begin to make the United States energy-independent in the next four years, a goal that has eluded the past eight presidents.

Rahm is telling the Democrats to hurry up and stake out the credit for the coming privately-funded, privately-researched, privately-executed energy boom.
