Cleveland's answer to the recession is interesting. It's to just keep throwing a lot of money into projects building new stuff "downtown". It's in much better shape than the cities such as Detroit and Newark that it used to be compared to, but for much of the lower and middle classes it's a wasteland. It seems as if those parts of the city are going to rot away, and most of the people along with them.
That's my take. And Obama's visit to a steel company that's been taken over by a global megacorporation doesn't address the problems of the black minorities Obama pretends to be part of. JMHO
