This is part of his scorched earth policy for the next 18 months.

I sit on an advisory committee for capital improvement fund allocation in my little township. We met just two days ago, and one discussion was how it is not necessarily worth applying for and receiving grant money from the government to help fund projects. too many strings attached forever. so they can dangle that carrot, or threaten withholding funds, but it might not work. I’m sure we are not the first to figure this out.

The twp also has a very large apartment complex, which had a waiting list when it was built in the mid 90’s; it was THE place to live. A few years ago the complex decided to accept Section 8 tenants and has regretted it ever since. They draw more police visits than the whole rest of the township combined.

Bears repeating.

Go to any area that suffered a major disaster like a tornado, hurricane, flood, forest fire or earthquake a few years after FEMA and the other fed/state fascists “fixed” things.

Then, you will see the failure of big and medium government to “fix” anything correctly.
