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.

Audit?
How much went to a few at the top?
” Of this amount, $467.1 million went to education”
And dats the trut!
In practice, it's more like millions of dollars for well connected, mostly Black politicians and cronies and little or nothing per every ordinary man, woman and child in the entire city.
Check out the Clinton's scams in Haiti to show us how it's done
sounds like their priorities were .. and are ass backwards..
My mother had nothing I 1940. Used newspaper for shoes. Schools spent 50 cents on students, lol, but she managed to become a nurse. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN without spending 20 thousands dollars a year oh her.
oh yeah, and after her abusive Mafioso father left and they were on welfare, the men use to come around and count the silverware!!!! one set for each person. And they got MAD when there was an extra box of cereal! That’s welfare.
No amount of money will ever be enough. After the extra trillion(s) fail, they’ll say it wasn’t enough. They’ll always want more.
Obama is a turd. He’s sending a signal to rioters that it’s ok to riot because of the big, bad Republicans.
What a Waste; What a Fraud; What an Abuse...
That is all the progressive liberal democrat communist party knows how to deliver, tax payer dollars for naught.
Yes, but the math is wrong and it should be $2,900 per person in Baltimore rather than $290. Quite a difference, either a typo or calculation error by the author.
Only $2900? That’s not quite enough for one pack of smokes per day. What are the two pack per day smokers supposed to do? < / sarcasm >
Yup, they stole $2900 from every many woman and child in Baltimore, not $290.
Go to this site to see the funding for every state:

Amazing!
Slushfund...likely went to campaigns around the country, Baltimore, pensions and SEIU union pensions and the like. The job training? $3.1M for community organizing training.
Well the mayor can dress better now and think of all those shoes ready to be sold.
Hillary,Chelsea and Bills foundation got millions from the stimulus package.
Great comparison with today’s “standards” od poverty.
should be plastered everywhere. Giuliani used to TEL these stories to black kids who cried about how they were going to pay for college. Rudy would say “get a job”
you guys only get to see the (I don’t know why) the left wing insane side of him. That’s a shame how could someone be so right on some issues and so wrong on others
Ha, ha, no kidding.
