Imagine what it would have been without a Cook County Democrat in the WH. The economy is coming back. The opportunity areas are going to be urban and particularly urban poor. Too many billionaire elites are enamored with Africa’s prospects when we’ve got mini Africas in every city and by that I mean entrenched generational poverty, not a race.
This is a big opportunity for popular conservatism to make inroads into traditionally Democratic strongholds. If you want to keep labor productivity growing you have to deregulate and reduce taxes on urbanites. You have to move people off welfare into some type of productive work, even with a subsidy to a business. If half the welfare rolls earned half their welfare via real productive work, the benefits to the nation would be enormous.
Chicago has a 107 page pamphlet on how to build a porch. 107 pages on a porch you could build yourself without plans for the entire history of the city, but now it’s deemed too dangerous. You need an architect and an over-engineered plan. It’s nuts. http://www.cityofchicago.org/content/dam/city/depts/bldgs/general/Porch/Porch2011/RevPorch_Guide52611_Secured.pdf
That’s how Cook County Democrats view the world. One in which every detail must be planned out. It’s a soviet model in America and it doesn’t work.
