Liberals never learn. Their solution to societal problems continues to be to spend—or to use their euphemism, "invest"—yet more money—or to use another of their euphemisms, "resources."

And thus it was that on his MSNBC show this morning, Jonathan Capehart gave Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot a platform to talk about her latest spending spree ostensibly intended to solve the city's crime wave. As Lightfoot put it: "We can't just arrest our way out of the crime problem, we have to INVEST our way out of this [crime] problem."

Invest...must be a new word she learned.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Lori Lightfoot spreading millions around her “community partners.”

Yup: that’s guaranteed to solve the crime problem! And she calls the criminals, “under-resourced!”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

She’s a clueless idiot. Americans need to start sponsoring criminals.

[WashingtonSource]

No! Wrong answer ugly dyke.

[BenLurkin]

Pay your single parents to have vasectomies and tubal ligations.

Crime won’t go down right away, but 15 years from now you will see a diffrence for the better.

[Dr. Sivana]

OK, invest in cops and jails.

[muir_redwoods]

I did invest. A couple of Glocks.

[Secret Agent Man]

The people doing the crimes do not even invest in themselves.

They don’t want to. Thats not the work they want to do. They want to be violent parasitesand live off a system that protects them, coddles them, and makes excuses for them.

[Clutch Martin]

And Controlling the borders and the flow of criminals, criminal activity, drugs, and human trafficking wouldn’t be a good place to start?

[AZJeep]

Build new prisons, hire more police officers, judges and prosecutors.
That would be a wise investment!

[libertylover]

No, you have to BEHAVE your way out of crime.

[Fester Chugabrew]

The stupid. It hurts us all.

Deputize and arm the citizenry. Crime will be lessened.

[American Number 181269513]

We can't just arrest our way out of the crime problem

Sure you can. You just choose not to.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We need more BLM anti-white racism.

That will fix it.

[no-to-illegals]

dear light-in-the-brain: invest in bounty hunters

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Investing money solves all kinds of problems. Just like it did for poverty, drugs, homeless and so on

[whistleduck]

Stuck on stupid, eternally.

"We Have to INVEST Our Way Out of Crime"

I agree.. More training and equipment for more cops and lots of BIGGER prisons..

This is Clinton-speak.

Back in the 90s, taxes and government spending were renamed contributions and investments, respectively.
