Congressman on MSNBC sez we need a 100 Billion dollars to spend on Urban Renewal. We need to get out of Iraq and use that money to rehab the Poor Urban centers of the US.

Oh man this is gonna get ridiculous now!

Now is not the time, but he's on to something, and we'll need to address it once this is all over. But he's wrong about the cure.

We will need to take a good, brutally honest look at the culture of our inner cities. We should start a campaign to eliminate thug culture wherever we find it - even the white suburban wannabees.

The only disaster that compares with this is the Great Depression. And people didn't act like this then. We had TRULY poor people. But they were for the most part honerable. The people we see on TV do not even know what honor is.

I personally believe we should take welfare reform a step further. Every person in our country who is able to work should be required to work in some capacity. Work changes people, not as much as religious conversion, but it still helps give people, especially men, honor.

We don't need a new war on poverty. We need a war on poverty of spirit.

Was that the same black congressman who then criticized the President for asking his father and Clinton to head charitable relief?? Oh, he claims that we don't "pass the plate" when we have other disasters, it's up to the government. He was totally put out that we would be raising money in that way. Of course, if there was a charitable rock concert for anything else, he would be up there singing We Are the World!
