Jesus Christ: You can't impeach Him and He ain't gonna resign.

Yes, the Democrats think they own the problems besetting the residents of our inner cities, but not in the way they believe. Democrats try to own the problems solely as election issues. They see their constituents’ problems only as tools, weapons with which to beat Republicans over their heads during election years, charging that white conservative racism is the cause of all the woes of inner city people. But Democrats take no responsibility for creating solutions. Democrats hold all the relevant government offices and the power to make lives better, but they never, ever, fix any of the problems. Eugene Slaven in his August 27 AT article, "Democrats Have Nothing to Fear but Losing Black Votes", notes that “...leftists... routinely highlight every statistic showcasing socioeconomic disparities between whites and blacks...” If elected Democrat office-holders would resolve the problems, these issues would be gone from their rhetorical tool belt, and no longer be available to them during election season.
In the most real sense, however, Democrats actually do own these horrible problems which continue to grind down their constituents. This is because for decades in most large cities, the Democrats have owned the municipal administrations and U.S. House congressional representation. Republicans are nowhere to be seen.

Facts are stubborn things.
Most if not all of our big city hell holes have been run by Democrats for generations.
If Democrat policies were going to turn around such hell holes, then we would have seen results by now, right??
Inner city culture would be defined as insane for voting and doing the same thing over and over again with the same results.
BLM also owns a large share of these ills.
Detroit is the template for Democrat policies. Use taxes to destroy business and regulations to kill initiative, spend tax money on transfer payments and corruption, let the infrastructure decay, and the tax base shrink, then ask for federal bailouts.
Detroit is more thoroughly destroyed than Hiroshima ever was, and no one is ever going to rebuild Detroit. It’s a dystopian nightmare, run by primitives who can’t solve its problems.
Liberalism is treason, as evidenced by Detroit.
Regressing to the primitivism of their ancestors before muslims took them from their homes and sold them into slavery.
The ills of America’s big cities began with Brown v. Board of Education in 1955. That began a decade of White Flight from the cities. Americans voted with their feet.
Toss in the practice of real estate Block Busting in white neighborhoods and the process just accelerated. This was all commonly discussed in the news during the 50s and 60s but you rarely see it mentioned today. Unless you’re over 60 you won’t remember it and it’s too non-PC a topic for open discussion now because it touches uncomfortably on race.
Big cities once were desirable places to live, a situation that lasted for about a decade after the end of WWII. Even New Yorkers didn’t worry about crime. By the late 60s Charles Bronson’s Death Wish reflected what America’s big cities had become.
No, you will not see the liberal policies being successful because if they did, they couldn’t fool the inner city residents into re-electing them with promises of more saving policies. Their “policies” are not meant to succeed. They are there to trap the inner city populous into remaining where they are, broke, hungry, and scared of the other side they don’t seem to realize are actually trying to improve them but are blocked by the fooled people living in the fear. In the mean time, programs like welfare and it’s components are griping their lives more every year, trapping them into forced poverty. So, the dems don’t control the inner cities, they let the inner cities open the door to them.

Detroit’s destruction was cemented by the election of Coleman Young, a hard Left white-hating Black Power racist. That, with the auto industry struggling to compete with Japan, led to the ruin that is Detroit today.
Hard to believe that in 1950 it was the 4th largest American city with arguably the highest standard of living in the country. The fall occurred very quickly.
Having listened to his recent speeches concerning the misfortune of Blacks misled by Democrats, while his heart is in the right place, constitutionally low-information Trump evidently doesn’t understand that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for any issue regarding the nation’s cities.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
The Founding States expected the nation’s cities to take care of themselves without any “help” from the feds.
But Democrats have been exploiting Blacks for many generations by winning their votes with empty promises of federal “sugar” for Blacks, such promises based on constitutionally non-existant federal government powers.
The problem is that, as a consequence of unconstitutional federal taxes which state sovereignty-respecting justices clarified in the Gibbons opinion, taxes which corrupt Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, the feds are essentially continually stealing city revenues that that cities could be using to address the living conditions and educatonal needs people in need.
But while any federal involvement in cities is unconstitutional, Trump could argue that the feds are fixing what they broke, and then get out of Dodge.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

Sadly, there are a lot of folks that don't want to be productive. There are lots of ways for people to find a way to be productive, but they won't get off their butts to be productive. You almost have to drag them kicking and screaming to apply for a job. Even then, they'll quit after one day of "work". I have no answers on fixing this problem, other than a change of indoctrination and hypnotic influence. But the Democrats are masters at this, so the problem will fester for a long time, unless we get rid of many Democrats. Ain't happening.
