$100 million suddenly turns into $300 million. Free Obama Money will solve all of Detroit's problems. No effort will be made to encourage it's citizens to pitch in or act responsibly. That would be racist. No punishments will be applied to the wrongdoers who wrecked a great American city. That would be justice.
Rather than trying to reduce crime, Obama and Eric Holder are working to reduce sentencing guidelines to lower the incarceration rate of black males in order to put more drug dealers, ex-convicts, and sperm-donors on the street.
WASHINGTON — Two months after Detroit became the largest city ever to file for bankruptcy, top Obama administration officials will be there on Friday to propose nearly $300 million in combined federal and private aid toward a Motown comeback — only a fraction of the billions the city owes and a reflection of the budget and political limits on President Obama.
Most of the roughly $300 million to come is federal money, with the state and foundations chipping in, according to the White House. About $140 million would go toward transit improvements, including $24 million to repair buses. An additional $100 million would go to blight efforts, including $25 million for commercial demolitions from combined federal, state and foundation money. With the planned $25 million in federal Homeland Security money, up to 150 firefighters could be hired.
