Last Tuesday, President Obama blamed the GOP-controlled Congress for its failure to fund the “massive investment in urban communities” that could “make a difference.” Well, how does $1.8 billion for the 622,000 people of Baltimore sound? Pretty massive, actually just about $290 for every man, woman, child, and baby of the entire City of Baltimore.
But that’s the total amount of Obama Stimulus money sent to Charm City, according to an analysis by The Free Beacon:
The city of Baltimore received over $1.8 billion from President Barack Obama’s stimulus law, including $467.1 million to invest in education and $26.5 million for crime prevention.
Moreover, that spending was concentrated in Baltimore’s inner city areas:
According to Recovery.gov, one of Baltimore’s central ZIP codes, 21201, received the most stimulus funding in the city, a total of $837,955,866. The amount included funding for 276 awards, and the website reports that the spending had created 290 jobs in the fourth quarter in 2013.
Of this amount, $467.1 million went to education; $206.1 million to the environment; $24 million to “family”; $16.1 million to infrastructure; $15.2 million to transportation; $11.9 million to housing; and $3.1 million to job training.

HUH??
And only $3.1 mln for JOBS....
Can you say “redistribution of wealth”, comrades?
Criminal slush fund. We live in lawless times.
TWEMTY TWO TRILLION DOLLARS
TWENTY TWO MILLION MILLION DOLLARS
In wealth confiscation and “redistribution” since the War on Poverty began.
ENOUGH.
Were it ten trillion towards jobs, would it matter? I’ve been around these neighborhoods. No one wants to work, they want to hang around bodegas and delis and brag about how they aren’t b...es because they didn’t snitch in jail or visited their child once in the past 2 months, or bought a new piece, etc.
The enviro crony capitalist need paid too.
Still mid-morning, but my math says $2,900 per man, woman and child in the entire city.
TROUBLE IS; The COLD HARD C-A-S-H didn’t go into the MALCONTENT RIOTER’S HANDS.
Only libs think that spend $838 million to create 290 jobs is how to run a government.
Most of them wouldn’t work if you offered them $100 an hour to do inventory for a blind liquor store owner.
Just one trillion more ought to do the trick. /s
Just for a reference,
one dollar is to a million dollars
as
one million dollars is to a trillion dollars.
Who would want to hire them? No job skills, rotten attitudes.
“Baltimore received”
Reminds me of around here when the teachers start lobbying for school bonds (”taxes”) “for the children”.
Once passed, a lot of the teachers buy new cars—one vice-principle a new Corvette.
Baltimore received=local political grifters received
Obozo and his gang have done nothing more than create divisiveness and turmoil as a distraction to the fact that they are helping themselves and their cronies to taxpayer money.
someone related a story of a man in the army
who, being under behavioral discipline,
was sent to the motor pool to sweep the floor.
The guy supervising him said that he walked around,
keeping the broom “just” off the floor in order to avoid sweeping.
This was far more “work” than actually conforming to the corrective labor.
So - with this crowd, there’s laziness, to be sure, but how much of it is simply rebellion to what is perceived as YT’s authority?
lol. we all know that. But what do we do about it. They give the dems a FIFTEEN point advantage in presidential re. That IS VERY hard to overcome and it pi..es me off.
and Obama wants mandatory voting because then every lazy pos will vote.
We HAVE to get CRUZ or Walker as my second choice to slash and burn welfare.
F em. No say in the new govt. If protesting is the new normal as some say, then violent crushing of the riots is need.
Wish they would try this crap in Texas. or my neighborhood. 300k crazy and ready and eager to fight Italians and irish. .
Baltimore got $1.8 billion from Obama's WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION
they are an infestation. Like I said a million times lol, I’ve worked in their neighborhoods. I’ve told the stories on other boards. They’re not human almost in the way they live.
