“you can’t just condemn the citizens of that city to live with the health problems or crumbling infrastructure.”
YOU CAN AND YOU MUST “Condemn” people to live with their choices. Good God, man!!!!! I do not owe people money because they vote democrat.
Infrastructure spending has been code word for “the g giving out welfare benefits to democrats and unions” since about 1400BC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just because DT is now giving out my money, and picking winners and loser, and enriching unions, and letting democrats off the hook for their bad behavior, does not make it good.
You’re argument will have a lot more power, if you swear off driving on public interstates and freeways.
While you’re at it, don’t go to hospitals for your health care.
While you’re at it, don’t take Social Security or Medicare.
The folks paying for these things could quite easily object.
By the way, while Flint may be a hell hole, the policies that brought it to that point WERE NOT exclusively it’s own.
I’m not here to defend poor choices, but the federal government has made a number of very poor choices over the last twenty years that have impacted cities and states across this nation very negatively.
Many of them would be in a much better position financially if it weren’t for the all out war on U. S. workers and jobs in this nation.
BTW: This has nothing to do with a union position either. I detest them.
